Mister Smitty

Mister Smitty and Ossie came to us covered in fleas, starved, anemic and coughing at 3 months old. They were half bald from itching and scratching so much. They came from a litter of 6 and are the only two survivors left.

Smitty (dove grey, like a sir) was touch and go when we first got them. For about a week we were scared checking on him to see if he was still breathing. He pulled through like a fine gentleman though and we're happy to see him wear his sister Ossie as a scarf now.

Your cats look so soft and cuddly, and very comfortable. Our kitties both came to us as strays, both are fat and sassy and rule the house now. The even boss the dogs around, lol.

Thanks all. These two are very affectionate. No animal deserves to live under the conditions we found these in. We're just glad we were able to save 2. I try not to think too hard about the ones that didn't make it.

Titi: he lived in the street for six years. He is very sick. He spends happy days with us now

Geek corner:

Blast from the past:

'smitty' is the command to start the System Management Interface Tool in "ASCII console" mode on the IBM AIX operating system.

Now desperately waiting for someone to confess that the house cat is called "grep" or "sed"

Not sed, but I got a Sadie... suppose that's close enough.

@ek22: not close enough, Unix is case-sensitive

@ecirbaf: Will Debian and Fedora be the proud parents of PuppyLinux?

She's kind of a tiny cat, that makes her lower case by default.

It's well known that cats always prefer to be in the upper case

Until I run spellcheck on her.

Let her be herself, she must be quite a character.

She's hilarious most days. Currently not so much since she's looking for love and she isn't allowed outside.
