I realize this is a ferret list (and I have only been a fert mom less
than 2 years so I don't have any oldie-but-goodie fuzzbutt tales to tell)
but to me there is only one animal more funny than a ferret and that is a
cat with an attitude from here-to-there and that is a perfect description
of my Elsa.
 
Elsa was a present from my late husband and she is very very special to
me.  She came from a small breeder in Evansville IN about 55 miles from
where we live.  Elsa came from a litter of 3 other kittens, she had
personality galore but no one wanted her, she was picked over time and
again and even when she was the last kitten available and people looking
for a Siamese kitten, still yet she was not what anyone wanted.  Elsa's
mamma was a tiny petite little wisp of a Siamese, what the typical
present-day Siamese looks like.  Elsa's daddy was a MOOSE of a cat, (he
looked more like the traditional "Apple Head") he weighed 16 pounds, her
mamma weighed a whopping 6 pounds.  Poor Elsa took after her daddy; she
grew up to be what I affectionately refer to as my lumber-jack girl.
Here was this little kitten big chunky body, clumsy as a growing puppy,
and feet like soup bowls.  She was anything but the graceful tiny
fine-boned Siamese and it was love at first sight for me.  I cried at
the thought no one wanted this precious little kitten and decided there
was a reason she was picked over and no one wanted her, she was destined
to be mine.
