Happy 17th Birthday Kitty

I got this pretty kitty for Christmas 17 years ago. She has used her 9 lives a few times over. I think she is losing/lost her hearing and sight but seams to be doing well for a 17 year old cat. Not sure she will make it through the winter but who knows...

Did you notice I just called her/him kitty?

This cat has had many names... sizzel, kitty, top cat are the ones that come to mind. He/She? no one remembers if she is a boy or girl since she got fixed but I have noticed her spraying like a boy outside. We just refer to her as a she. The last few years she has been known as kitty or top.

Her nine lives... She was ran over by a car and had a cast over her hips for a while. You can still feel a weird spot on the bone. She also had some big apses on her chest that had to be drained and stitched it was gross. She has came in beat up from many fights. Sometimes gone for days and return like nothing had happened especially when my brother was visiting. I am not sure what her problem is with him.

She has always been a loner or just independent. She is a light weight, I am not sure how much she weighs but probably around 5lbs. A few years ago late summer and fall of 2009 she would be gone for a week back for a day or day for 2 for months. One day I saw her in the neighbors yard. They had gone to Europe for a few months and had a young girl house sitting. This cat had taken to her and was staying with her. After the family came back and the girl left the cat came home. I had already replaced her with my pumpkin Buddy though but they get along ok and she stayed with my grand parents when we moved and Buddy came with us.

Not happy that I was packing
