HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1994-11-02, Page 5Summer `friend' now part of family by George Walker My wife and I brought someone home with us from our summer vacation. She'sshort and cute. She's loud and gets into trouble. By - the way, this new friend of ourS is orange. Her name is Penny and she's a cat. We first saw Penny when she and her mother were out for a stroll. They were two of the many cats who lived in a nearby barn. I figure Penny could tell we were tourists. She rolled around in the grass and put on a great show. Her mother climaxed this exhibition by giving Penny a big kiss. A little later, we saw her again. Penny came running through the barnyard as Diane and I walked down the gravel road. This was • almost the feline equivalent of Lassie. The actions of this small orange bundle of fur captivated our hearts. I could easily be persuaded", I told my wife, to make that kitten our first pct. It really didn't take any more persuading, for Penny had done her job well. The next day, Diane and myself went to the farmhouse to ask if we might have a kitten. They said sure, and we . headed out ,to the barn to look for Penny. Bam cats are nimble creatures. I caught one orange kitten. The color was right, but the animal didn't have the expressive little face I •remembered. Then, I saw Penny and her mother resting in the hay. I grabbed her by the scruff ''of the neck and we wrapped her in a towel. Once inside our vacation home, Penny took off ;like a shot. She hid under the couch all after- noon. Diane and I prepared to wait it out. But, we had the ultimate Help find a cure To the editor: Diabetes is serious.

Through- the discovery of insulin many, including myself have .been helped. I have been an insulin persuader, cat food. In an hour or two, two little eyes looked at us from under the couch. Penny came out and began to eat. She eventually allowed me to pick her up. 1 held tiny Penny in my hands. I told her humans were okay and she should give us a break. Besides, we could teach her stuff. Penny learned quickly, and warmed up td us during the remaining week of vacation. During the wee hours, we were .awakened by our purring friend, who gave our faces a good washing with her little tongue. When we got home, Penny settled in easily. Our house is her domain. I'm getting used to seeing our floor covered with bottle caps, little bits of wool and other things. Penny is our "welcoming committee" at the end ot,a long day. No lace is more welcome at the door when we come home. Crew never TO,THE EDITOR competed again dependent diabetic for 40 years.
