A Tale of Kittens
Posted: Tue Dec 22, 2015 6:35 pm
Here I will detail likely my favorite story of my personal experience, the story of a family of cats and the hurdles and triumphs that they have experienced in the care of their Hoomans.
The story has developed since the last time it was rendered, with new insight, development, and chapters. It will take me some time to render, and will be a work in progress for about a week (estim.).
Prologue -
Before there was an FA in the equation, there was Sowelu, and Sowelu was the proud and dutiful caretaker of a Tortoise-shell Calico cat by the name of 'Princess', and an Indigo Chinchilla by the name of 'Rumplestiltskin'.
In September of 2008 Sowelu met FA,... and so begins a long process of ups, downs, backs, forths, in between, and - most importantly - many more kittehs to come.
Now, when FA and Sowelu met they were quite taken with each-other,... but this is NOT their story. Still, for context; After they met, and a few months of meeting, they began to make changes to their situation. Rumplestiltskin was placed in the (dubious) care of FA, who after an incredibly stressful car ride (good luck fitting a Chinchilla cage in a Miata) arrived with her (yes, Rumpy was a girl).
It was many months before the story develops further, but in that time Rumpy came to like FA. He had a habit - after a 'breaking in' period - of leaving the cage open, so that Rumpy had the run of the small studio he resided at. She especially liked that when she jumped toward the wall-mounted heater it made a loud 'bang' that sometimes caused FA to run frantically into the room, half naked, with a WTF expression. Rumpy liked that alot.
While Rumpy and FA were getting along in the Sacramento area, Sowelu and Princess were settling in in the San Francisco area. They'd both endured some dodgy roommates in the recent past and were settling in at her Grandmother's quiet house. Princess, of course took to the place quite naturally; with only 2 hoomans in a 5 bdrm house, she commanded all she surveyed (multi-floors too ^_~). The older hooman was quite affectionate too, and could be easily duped into thinking Princess hadn't just devoured her entire can of food.
FA was seen with greater frequency, until finally Sowelu and Princess traveled to the Sacramento area with him.
