My kitty called Ginger email this discussion to a friend?

I named my cat and her brother after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (Fred and Ginger). Their other sister was named Smokey for no other reason than her colour (my sister named her). Two sisters and a brother (much like our family) given birth to in the top shelve of my sister's closet. Try calming a teenager who is about to have her best jerseys possibly spoilt and helping a very young mother whilst clinging to the shelve for support for a life experience.
Fred dissappeared a few years ago, Smokey ran away and their mother died in a freak accident involving a garage door. So Ginger is left. I love my little tabby that chases all the fairies in my house. It use to be her and her brother and I think he use to protect her as well because these days she gets frightened easily by something I can not see. Sometimes she comes running in to hide, sometimes she is frightened, sometimes she will stare for hours at something going up and down and quite often she just chases something throughout the house.
I am glad that she has friends (that moves with us wherever we go) and I do not believe that I need to clear my house in anyway, although I am a little worried about that which she is frightened of.
I was just wondering if anyone has ever had the same type of experience with their cats?

I hope you have fixed Ginger so there are no more kittens on the top shelf on the closet!

Cats run away a lot less if they are fixed and if you keep them inside there will be no more freak accidents with garage doors - my roomie's folks had a cat that was injured by a garage door - he dissappeared last year - I think a wild dog got him, now they have a strickly inside cat.

We don't call those invisible things fairies, & I'm not sure they are good, I think she must "watch" the good ones & chase the bad ones. Probably one of the bad ones got her & now she's scared of that kind of bad one.

Not to wory - she was fixed asap. And I think maybe you are right. SHe plays with the good ones, but I think she runs from the bad-ones. Ginger is the poverbial scardy-cat.

I think some cats see those "no-see-ems" better than others. E.B. will go careening thru the house for no apparent reason, Rygel will seem to chase things. Scamp will creep up & sniff things & run away (he's my scardy Scamp after all.) Other cats will just walk thru the house without looking at anything - and it isn't because of smarts, but cause I think I may only have ever had one really dumb cat, but she saw more of them than any of the rest!

My mother always named her cats kit-kat. like choclate. its easy to say. so when my daughter started to speak, every cat she saw was a kit-kat. needless to say, when we got a cat, the name was quickly decided. my cat had 2 kittens 3 weeks ago and both have also been named baba kit-kat. i love your choices for names. i usually opt for the strange and funny names, but hubby will have none of that. when we get new pets, i shall let you know about the names.

That would be cool. It's always nice to hear about the interesting names that people decide on for their pets. I think one could start a phsycological department based onit, like people that analyse your handwriting.

it could get quite interesting. i like to be unique and dont get to express myself much as we live in a conservative community. i do so wish that things would change.

I have a cat that use to look around like that. But when we moved he stopped. I think cats are such cool animals, Maybe Ginger needs a new friend (cat).

I do not think she would take to kindly to that. Chances are she would just ignore it and hten I would have to entertain her friend. LOL.

She is like an only child.
