| Our Beloved Blondie About 4 years ago after the death of my son-in-law's grandfather, we found a kitten in the drainpipe of his house. The little kitten was a beautiful blonde colored domestic that was sweet and loving, even though it had never had human contact. When we rescued the kitten, we though it was a little girl, so we named the kitten "Blondie". Blondie became a loving companion and my granddaughter wanted her as a pet. So I did what grandmother's do and I let her have her. She loved Blondie and kept her in her room for a while and then allowed her to go outside. Sometime afterward we had the kitten neutered and found out the kitten was a boy. The vet understood why we had a hard time determining the sex because he was so underdeveloped. The beautiful blonde kitten grew into the most unusual looking cat. He was huge. He had beautiful blue eyes, markings on his head of a tabby still light colored, but the rest of his body was a dark brown and marked like a Savannah. I have never seen a cat with so many different markings. He loved to be petted. He would come inside and follow my daughter wherever she went, sleep with her, and talked to her constantly. This past week Blondie either got hold of a mouse that had been poisoned or was bit by a snake. He came up on the porch gasping for breathe and in constant pain. We knew there was nothing that could be done. As he passed on, we were all torn up. How can one prevent such a death? Allowing a pet to stay outdoors today is dangerous. One is torn in allowing them to roam in an outside environment and I feel about it just like I do caring for children. It is not safe for children to go outside without someone watching over them as they play. The same applies to our pets. It is far too dangerous to allow them to roam outdoors unsupervised. We will miss Blondie. |
