Crabby Shack Callie

A couple years ago at Jan and Smitty's house we found a batch of four kittens outside. Later we would find a fifth. The kids had found a few earlier that year, and tried to help them. It was heartbreaking, as all of them but one died (Misty is the one who lived). We nursed them but couldn't save them. We were able to save this batch however. There were five, as I said. Callie was one of them, along with Bug and Little Chili, both of whom are with us now, and the two boys, Fuzzer (AKA Mr. Fuzzles) and Big Chili (AKA Buster). Callie is a beautiful Callico, who has a loud mouth. She's also the first cat I've ever had who is fat. If you walk behind her while she runs you can see her stomach swing wildly from side to side! She loves to drink water from the sink, and she loves to sit on your lap and purr and dig her claws into you. She greeted Houdini (you'll meet him soon enough!) with a cat fight, and she and Philo snarl at each other quite a bit. But she's an overall friendly cat. Though she had a TERRIBLE habit of knocking over ANY cup she finds. The other night she knocked over Jennie's glass of water DRENCHING her face (Jennie's face, not Callie's) at 4:00 AM!!! Jennie woke up and screamed a few expletives! It was funny (after we calmed down!) She gets along well with the dogs as well. She doesn't like to go outside at all, and her favorite place is her perch on top of the cat scratching post.
