Snugglepuss (RIP)

The last of the Kamuela cats is Snugglepuss. My sister Leona adopted her when she was 2 years old when she saw an ad in the newspaper for a free Scottish Fold cat. I think her original name was Little Gal but Leona called her Snugglepuss because she would tuck her head against your shoulder or in your armpit to hide while being carried. She was the smallest of Leona's 3 cats and had the cute habit of sitting up on her haunches like a meerkat while begging.

She was a very sweet and shy cat who also liked the "tummy up" position while napping, just like her fellow Kamuela cats, Jennifer and Snookums.

Snugglepuss went to the Rainbow Bridge on 9/23/03 when she was 18.

Widebody Wednesday - Featuring Snookums (RIP)

Snookums, another of my sister Leona's Kamuela cats, was the ultimate floofy widebody cat! Her favorite napping position was on her back but she was such a tease because she'd flaunt her huge white floofy tummy but wouldn't let anyone touch it without getting a nip in return!

On hot afternoons, Jennifer and Snookums would lie side by side on the kitchen floor under the ceiling fan.

Pumpkin would sometimes use Snookums as his pillow and just ignored her grumbling and growling.

Snookums went to the Rainbow Bridge last year on 5/7/06 when she was 16.

Tabby Tuesday - Featuring Jennifer (RIP)

I've mentioned the "Kamuela Cats" in previous posts and I'll introduce them to you individually. When my sister Leona (the source of most of our cats) moved to the Big Island, she took her 3 cats, Jennifer, Snookums and Snugglepuss to Kamuela with her. After several years, she separated from her husband and moved back to Honolulu with her cats. When she got engaged again, it was to someone who was severely allergic to cats so she couldn't keep them and on 4/16/99, her 3 senior lady cats joined Emily, Shirley, Blackie and Bebe and we ended up with 7 cats!

Jennifer is actually Shirley's daughter. Shirley managed to escape from Leona's apartment before she could be spayed and met a romantic neighborhood tomcat and became a teenage mom. Leona found homes for the kittens but kept Jennifer for herself. She was either injured when she was very young or was born with something wrong with her hips. She couldn't jump very well and walked in a stiff-legged swaying way. If you ran your hand along her back, her rear end would collapse under your hand. She ended up with crumpled ears when each ear, at different times, developed what the vet called aural hematomas that had to be drained and then stitched up.

But she was the most sociable of Leona's 3 cats. During family parties, she would mingle with the guests instead of hiding like the other cats.

She demanded her stinky goodness every evening and wanted her saucer of milk in the morning. And she loved to sleep on her back in a twisted position with her tummy exposed!

She went to the Rainbow Bridge on 1/5/04 at the age of 17.
