Tinka, the Calico Cat, etal. 


This page will speak to Tinka, our Calico Cat, and feature pictures of fellows that have made their way to these pages via the web. 

The mistress was upset this morning when I caught
that little bird out on the deck, making me stay outside all day long.

While I am a working cat, I can't work all of the time, and I do like a siesta now and then. I suppose I have as many neuroses as the next kitty. For example, I cannot stand it when I see bare plate on the bottom of my food dish, and put up a squawk on each occasion.
"My favorite musical, you ask? That's easy! It's Cats!"

"I work the third shift, so it is imperative that

I get my rest during the day."

"I was feline non grata on this couch when it was

new, for I had shredded the corners of the previous sofa."

"I really hate thunderstorms, but it is reassuring

when I can cuddle up with my friend."

Big Red holds that "discretion is the

better part of valor.

ONE ISN'T PARANOID WHEN ONE HAS ENEMIES?  "As if I have not been set upon by hawks, vultures, coyotes, owls, fox, dogs and  badgers, have lost my right paw in a trap, endured infections, have a cauliflowered right rear, once darned near starved to death, and have been in more fights than I care to mention, there is now some dude up in Wisconsin who wants to off my kind, calls us feral cats.  Just to play it safe, I take cover now and then, as you can see, and my main adversary around here is a Calico Cat named Tinka, who I out weigh 10 to 1."
--Big Red, aka Al Capone, aka Gato Gordo

Whoever coined the phrase "Dog Days of Summer"

was just not being inclusive enough

"I hear my parents say that I am about the finest cat they have ever known, but I suspect ambivalence, for I have also heard them say, "She is spoiled rotten."

"The mistress is just placating me. She knows how

I feel about that stray alley cat, Red."

Earlier on, Red was a virtual tiger in the woods,

but look at him now and his feline condition.

Red, aka Capone, a stray, came to our house on

Super Bowl Sunday and has never left.
