Snickerdoodle's origins
are a mystery. After the six kittens from
Torti and Brownie were rescued and
socialized, the mothers just disappeared.
However, two more cats appeared, Abby and
Gabby. Since their size and coloring is
similar, I assume they are sisters. Shortly
after their first appearance, a little white
and brown tabby kitten also came up to eat.
It is possible that one of the girls was his
mother, but I suspect he was a drop-off.
Either way, we decided to try to trap him,
and add him to the growing herd. What's one
more???
Snickierdoodle is indeed a beautiful cat. If
you look at your face, the brown coloring
wraps around his eyes, making it look like
he has permanent teardrops. Snickerdoodle is
also our biggest cat, weighing in at over 15
pounds. He is also the true image of a "scaredy
cat". He hates the vacuum cleaner and hides
at the bottom of the stairwell, at the
garage door until I'm finished.
Snickerdoodle is not a people kitty. He
really doesn't like to be touched and will
duck and run if approached. I can, however,
pet and even comb him if he is half-asleep
by the window. But woe to anyone who picks
him up. He will pee on you, so be prepared
with lots of towels.
