Ma was think of Monster Original. She still miss he something awful. He been gone 10 year now. Sometimes Ma even make drippy eye for he. He was a very special cat. Ma always talk to Monster and he talk back. They have whole conversations. She was think of some funny thing about he. Ma used to say he have skin size of bobcat on body of house cat. He was not a huge cat like Blackbery but was good sized. Bigger than I and always svelte. Monster was a mutt cat but have oriental genes because he have classic oriental body with long legs. He was grey spotted tabby and he side spots were so beautiful. He look like an ocicat. He have softest furs on he front inside wrists. They silky and when you look at they they look same effect as figured maple. They have optical illusion of shiny rippled furs even though they smooth. It hard to describe but Ma can remember look at he wrists and stroke the fur and see the ripple. Monster was have what Ma call tigerbelly You know, just like wild tiger do. They have loose skin that hang down and sway when they walk. One time Monster go for walk on leash with Ma in campground where they staying and someone ask, When did she have kittens? Ma giggle and say he a boy cat and fixed too so cant have kittens. She tell they he just blessed with wild tigerbelly just like giant stripey tiger have. Monster was crazy about help make bed. Ma and Pa used to make bed together because they both go to work at same place, same time. Monster know it and would jump on bed so he could have his fun in the morning. When they straighten out comforter after pulling sheet up tight and put pillows where they live he go crazy cat and attack bunched up parts. Then they would hold on to edges and make he go for ride. That he favorite and what he waiting for. They would use comforter to fly he up in the air. He love feel elevator feeling. Ma think he love it so much because when he kitten Pa would gently juggle he over the bed with he sister Matisse and he learn to love to fly. He was Ma first Adventurecat! If there was something new or different he was right there to check it out. He loved to travel, go camping and see the country. He and Matisse walk on the Chisholm Trail, the Abilene Trail, the Santa Fe Trail and the Oregon Trail. He go to National Parks, walk through the tunnel redwood tree, go to Crater Lake and the river that disappear into the lava tubes and come back out in Oregon. He and he sister see lots of place and museum in Kansas where they live. Monster and Matisse walk on the beach and touch the Pacific in Washington and California and walk on the beach and touch the Gulf of Mexico on Galveston Island in Texas. They camp in the tent with Ma and Pa. They travel with Ma and Pa and go to Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Monster especially love to go shopping in the pet stores. He even pick out he toys there. He love to meet all new people and get attentions and talk to anyone who talk to he. When Ma and Pa have any party he was always mingling and talk to everyone make sure they having a great time. He think it he party! When Ma and Pa live in Seal Beach California Monster and Matisse make friends with the neighborhood kitties. It was a unique thing. Ma and Pa live in a little old house that used to be on the beach when it built but then more houses built in the back yards of the old beach houses. They could see the beach and the ocean between the houses behind from their kitchen window. There were 5 or 6 cats who used to love to play together. There was a boat with a cover next door in the parking off of the alley for that house. All the kitties would climb around on that boat and walk and stalk each other on the cover and go under it to splore and have fun. They would play in the small bushes next to the narrow sidewalk between the houses. Ma called them The Gang of Kitties When they gather they come by the living room window and meow outside. Then Monster and Matisse would meow back. Ma would open the door and let them out to play and they would go bounding off with the gang. It was just like having kids. Ma will always miss he and waiting for to see he again in heaven. He and Matisse waiting there for us.
