Felicite
09.10.04 (10:18 am)   [edit]
When I was about 4 years old we moved into the house where my Mom currently lives now. My brothers Bud and Carvin were 6 and 18 respectively. The lady who had owned the house, Mrs. Thomas, had died and left her cat to whoever bought the house. When we moved in, Kitty (who's name on her medical records is Felicite the Enchantress), was lying in the middle of the living room sprawled on her back, with her legs spread out. It was clear from that very moment that this was her house.

In my early days at the house Felicite and I did not get along, partly because I was a brat and partly because she considered herself too precious to be held. May be it was because she was pure-bred Persian and considered herself too good for a middle class family. May be it was because I was 4 and wanted to dress her up in my doll clothes. Between the ages of 4 and 8, I consistently bore claw marks on my forearms and legs.

As I got older, I began to appreciate Kitty and her little eccentricities. She had style, she had grace, she was Felicite. Then Kitty got really old and started losing control of her um....bodily functions. One story that stands out in my memory is the week that Kitty pooped in my father's dress shoes 2 nights in a row. Monday and Tuesday, my father woke up to the stench of poop on leather. He was livid. He yelled at Kitty the next time he saw her. In front of my brother Bud and I he said he would have Kitty put down if she pooped in his shoes again.

Roger and I were terrified for Kitty. We had to find some way to get Kitty to go when and where she should. Then I had a brilliant idea. My Grandpa had had a stroke and was being looked after by a nurse in our guestroom. I took one of his disposable briefs, cut a hole in it and diapered kitty. You should have seen her. I could swear I saw tears in her eyes. She looked humiliated. Once she had been the proud, graceful and stylish Felicite. Now she was an old fur bag with a diaper. I don't think she ever forgave me. I just didn't want her to be put down.

When Daddy came home, my brother and I promptly and proudly showed him what we had been up to. "We solved Kitty's problem. You don't have to put her to sleep." My Dad had a good laugh and then he punished us.

I thought so too. My Dad thought we were being cruel to the cat.
