Scaredy Cat


We rescued a cat about 8 years ago from the cat rescue fanatics. The crazies who inspect your home and won't let you think about adopting one of their feline friends if you have small children in your house. They also are pretty adamant about adopting 2 cats instead of one, and keeping all pets inside at all times. Luckily we had had a cat already and Will was 13. We have an upstairs deck and we let our cats go up there and sit outside in the sun. This was almost the deal breaker, but we circumvented by adopting 2 days later from another crazy cat worker lady who knew us. Madeline is a gorgeous tortoise shell colored girl and sweet as can be, but a total scaredy cat. She hides quite a bit when people come over and in 8 years, we've yet to pick her up. During the fires, Will was so worried we wouldn't be able to get her in the cat carrier and we'd have to leave her behind. She's a funny little girl, forever peeking around corners to see if the coast is clear. Her mustachioed face and eye-liner eyes are so silly sweet - this had to be the photo.
