We have a little mini zoo in our home. Everyone knows of the turtles of course, 3 different species-17 all together. We have a 2 car garage but it's off limits to vehicles. Three years ago we rescued a kitten in our front yard. I was leaving for work one morning and it was pouring rain. As I opened the garage I could hear a faint meow.
Under the palm tree sat this little ball of fur, that was extremely friendly. It could not walk and at first I thought both of it's rear legs were broken. I figured someone threw it out of a car or something, but that might be my lack of faith in humanity I tend to believe from time to time.
My wife took him inside and called work telling them she would not be in because she wanted to rush the cat to the vet. The vet said both legs were not broken, that it was infection. He put the cat on antibiotics and of course he also fell in love with the cat. The techs there wanted to keep it as an office cat..... the cat has this way of making you fall in love with it. Anywho-- have not shared the name yet because my 8 year old came home from school that afternoon and the name she chose seemed to be the winner. The cat answered to it immediately and always comes running when you call it's name.
I wanted something cool, like Casper... My wife wanted something original, like Boots. I complained that I have seen about 20 cats in my lifetime named Boots. Our 8 year old came up with this silly name and like I mentioned, the cat just took to it immediately.
So, without further explanation I give you--- Poofie Bear:
We'll be masked and gloved, of course!
