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.
