Speaking of cats, here’s one who doesn’t get nearly as much blog-time as those manic attention-seekers, Herbie and Honey Girl. This is Bunny, one of the nicest, sweetest, and prettiest cats I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. She came to us last year from the animal control shelter in Spokane County, Washington. Bunny — or Buns, as I usually call her — is just a gem of a cat. If Alayne weren’t deathly allergic to cats, Bunny would be here in my office right now, sitting on my desk, staring at me. Or pawing at me with that little stump of a leg, saying "Love me, please." It is irresistible when she does this. Since she has to use her right front leg to stand on, she always uses her stump to paw at you when she wants to be petted. Trust me, when she does that, you melt. (I think she knows this.)
Bunny gets along with all the other cats, and is a mellow doll of a girl. How she ended up as a stray — and unclaimed at the shelter — amazes me. We don’t know what happened to her leg, but like all of our three-legged ones, it doesn’t slow her down at all.
Among Bunny’s many wonderful attributes is this one: Unlike Herbie and Honey Girl, she is perfectly content to stay inside the outdoor enclosure!
