As big as he is, he is about my most agile cat. He is the one that the kittens, and others, like to wrestle with. After a few days, Adrian takes the little thing outside and shows it the ‘bounderies’ and where it is okay to wander around. When I bring home a new kitten, he sorta adopts it. When you are that big, you don’t have to show off. Damn good guy!Īdrian, the big one, is a Maine Coon with a head the size of the other cats’ bodies. Take a look at his eyes and you’ll see what I mean, or rather what he means. He was always very independent, but as the end began coming he decided enough was enough and he stayed a lot closer as he knew I was there to help him and not drive him nuts. Medicine and special food kept him going about seven months, but in May 2010 they completely gave up and so did he a week later. When he was 11 his kidneys let go and they didn’t give him a lot of time. Here are both of them, this Adrian is the smaller one. Little Adrian is named for Adrian Newey the technical director for the McLaren Formula One race car team. Well, not be outdone, I have Alex Adrian and Adrian. Bob Newhart, another Innkeeper, had his Larry, his brother Daryl and his other brother Daryl.

Lots of orange hair flying, and Alex will leave him alone for another thirty days. Adrian generally ignores him, but every so often, he squints his green eyes and lets Alex have it. He is a very sweet cat, but Alex seems to be threatened by him so goes through his hissing thing. Therefore, like Siamese, he talks all the time, but usually has something interesting to say. They are Egyptian, and are basically long hair Abyssinians. Really miss this guy.Īdrian, the little one, is a Somali. Vet gave him a week or so but he made it six more until June 7th when he let me know he had enough. But by May more came and grew to size of golf balls all under his throat. He got a small tumer in his mouth in April 2010 which we had removed.

He is also one of the official tour guides in Toad Hall. Alex is named, of course, for Alexander the Great. Can’t understand why he can’t get into the Inn (allergy thing) when half of his duties just have to be in there. On their lap out of nowhere in a nanosecond. He’s best when a guest decides to chill out in a hammock in the back yard. One of these days he’s going to end up in the car return lot at Logan and have not the slightest clue how he got there. He is the official Innkeeper, and is wonderful with the guests, runs out to greet them when they drive up.Also helps them pack when they leave by getting in the trunk and showing them where the bags go. One look at that face, and you know he’s probably right. He feels he and only he is the real alpha cat. Anyway, here we go with the current litter of 25 cats.Īlex would take exception to the concept that all the cats are Alpha Cats though. It usually takes a week or so to see the individual personality and looks and behavior to pick a name that works. The hard part is that the name has to mean something particular to the cat. That way each one can consider themselves the Alpha Cat. Might as well let you know that all the cats have names that start with ‘A’. She was the true Alpha Cat in most every sense of the word. If you don’t remember, then go back to the home page and read Abigail’s Lessons on Living Life. But please remember just how important the original Abigail was to me and to my sanity. After she died, I got Abigail Two, and the current one is Abigail Too. The critter on the right is the original Abigail. If nothing else, I’ll never need an electric blanket. Get a dozen or so, and it’s fairly easy except at the meal time feeding frenzy, and at night when you try and turn over in bed.But all in all they are worth what effort is required. Get a half dozen or so, and by golly they start to take care of each other. Get around four and you have your hands full. But as you see, I just can’t leave well enough alone. When I came down here, just had Abigail and that was enough. They sorta like a little attention, but mostly just like to be left alone. In front of each clue we have added its number and position on the crossword puzzle for easier navigation.Suzy and I used to have an Airedale, so I’m not anti dog, it’s just that they require things like attention.
