Stinkys Story submitted by
Patti
Almost three years ago a neighborhood kid showed my son this tiny white cat his dad had found in a junkyard. My son, of course, brought him home, showed my husband, and it was love at first site. As a kitten, he looked like a white Siamese, but we had never seen a white Siamese before. I gave him his first bath and had my husband come see what I had found; a wet white rat. And that’s just what he looked like. I named him Ratt. But we soon learned his litter box behavior was a little over bearing because he had such a poor diet. When he used the litter box it stunk to high heaven. My husband then began to call him Stinky and I still called him Ratt. It didn’t take long for him to gain weight, grow trust in the kids and us, and be part of our family. It didn’t take long for his two names to be called together and so therefore Stinkyrat stuck and he has been that ever since. He is now a little over 2 years old, full grown, big bushy tail and a beautiful white coat with light tan markings. He has truly been a blessing to our family. We are as lucky to have him as he is to have us. He has big blue eyes and a very soft meow (unless he hears a can of food opening, then he can really belt out one heck of a cry). He’s loveable and when we pick him up he just kinda goes limp like a rag doll (hence his breed – Ragdoll). My vet told us his breed and also said that it’s not common for his breed to just be left as a stray, as these are expensive cats when bought from breeders. He also said he’s only seen 2 or 3 in his career as a vet. He wasn’t so sure his name fit him until I explained to him how he got it. To this day he is 22lbs of pure joy and he is so funny when he plays fetch with my ponytail holders. I’m almost convinced he thinks he’s part dog. I wouldn’t trade him for anything in the world, he’s my world. He’s our family and we’re so blessed to have him in our home. |

| Cats may cough for any number of reasons. Hairballs, asthma, heart disease, infections (pneumonia, heartworm disease), and neolpasia to name a few. If your kitty is coughing consistently or has a long coughing spell, see your veterinarian. |
