Scamper

How about this for boat watch! It's hard for me to have any sympathy for a guy with a boat like this. He probably will write a big check for whatever it needs!!

Today we are going to turn the spotlight on to Scamper!
Scamper is our 14 year old torty cat that we have had to endure all these years. She basically just lives with us. We feed her, provide her with care and a home. In return for that, we get...nothing!! Not a hug, not a sit in your lap and purr, we can't pet her, we can't even pick her up. A cat with no redeeming qualities. She even tried to kill me once as I ended up in the hospital with a serious case of cat scratch fever after she bit me. And she has bitten me many times! So why do we keep her? Beats me!

Believe me we have entertained thoughts of getting rid of her. But after all these years, she is still with us. There is really only one time when we relate to each other. That is when I am eating. Then she will bump my legs and rub up against me in the hope of my sharing a tender morsel with her. I threaten her with going without but in the end I always cave and share. She likes meat, of course, and also likes eggs. But basically anything I am eating she wants to sample.
Here is a shot of her helping me to eat breffis. A tender moment, right? Sorry but that is as close as we get. She snatches and is gone.
Now leave me alone she says!
Scamper is a great traveler though and has gone over 10,000 miles with us! What stories she could tell if she could talk.
So, does anybody out there want a cat? Let me know!
We have another cat on board named Teddy. I will feature him in another episode.

Finally here is a picture of me fishing.
"A" for effort but "F" for results.
