Hazel, our angel cat

Hazel was a gift from our oldest daughter. We were to be a temporary refuge for her. That temporary time has been approximately 14 years now. She and Maryann are inseparable.

As you can tell, Hazel does love lap time. She was pestering me a moment ago for lap time, but I had to answer the door. Her lap time was cut short. We will get together later.

Like most cats, she is fastidious in her toilette. Her white fur is the cleanest, softest substance you have ever felt.


Hazel had not tried to chew on the orchids. At last we have found a plant that seems to be cat proof.

Now for the story of the angel cat. While Maryann was recovering from an illness, Hazel stayed with her on the bed. Maryann needed the feline positive energy. Hazel was more than willing to supply it.

Hazel is a very sweet cat who has had her own share of misery. A few years ago we came home to find her in very poor health. The vet said she had kidney problems and kept her for a couple of days. She had to be re-hydrated and switched to food that had less protien. Her body can no longer process protein. Thank goodnesss for Hill's Science Diet K/D cat food. Hazel is once again a healthy 11 pound cat.

She is a people cat, unless you are a "blue collar" worker who arrives in the driveway in a truck. When that happens she runs to hide under the bed. We laugh so hard at that and most of the workmen do too. We didn't realize we had raised a snobbish cat. But, we love her anyway. What else can I say?
