Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2004Soldiers' Cat
If this has already been posted then my apologies but it is such a lovely story :) <http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Apr2004/n04242004_200404242.html> Bev -- I got rid of my husband. The cat was allergic. on 28 Apr 2004: > http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Apr2004/n04242004_200404242.html What a neat story! Pfc. Hammer is definitely a hero. Kudos to ACA and others for getting him over here and I'm glad he has a new safe home. :) He's a cutie! Speaking of the troops, my cousin has been at sea on the USS Louisville, and was deployed for OIF last year, and he is one of 6 chosen to present the rose award (or whatever it is) in the winners circle this Saturday at the Kentucky Derby. Assuming his ship comes in in time; they're on their way in now.  SignatureCheryl >on 28 Apr 2004: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >the Kentucky Derby.

Here's a link to last year when they did this: http://www.churchilldownsincorporated.com/about/news/2003/04242003a.html If it's the same thing, it sounds like your cousin will be presenting that gorgeous rose garland (500 red roses!) to the winner!

It does! I don't usually watch that race but I will be this year to look out for him. It's been horrible knowing he's been a part of the war and worrying, but he is a true patriot and would be doing nothing less. He's right around the same age as my son was; born maybe a year earlier.

I am so excited to see the derby this year. Cool! You'll have to let us know if he makes it. What's his name? Sometimes they introduce the guys who do that. Karen > Oh man!

I probably won't know until the Derby if he made it or not. SignatureCheryl >> Oh man! I am so excited to see the derby this year. Cool! You'll have >> to let us know if he makes it. What's his name?

Pfc Hammer is a large cat and very different looking to other cats. But then the egyptian Mau is closer to the ancient lineage than other cats. -- CATherine >>If this has already been posted then my apologies but it is such a >>lovely story :) [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >different looking to other cats.

All my cats have always been mixed breeds. Cool looking cats, though, aren't they? I googled the breed and read a couple interesting articles.

I went to some cat shows because my daughter was showing her cat, and although I don't really get into purebreds much, it was interesting to see the breeds that I'd seen in books only. Devon Rex, Scottish Fold, Bengals and such. CFA has a cat show in Lawton every year. I'll ask my daughter when it is.

The Queen of all cats is an Egyptian Mau in that book.
