Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2004WELCOME ODESSA!!!
The pleasure of your company is requested in welcoming the newest member of our family, Miss Odessa Tatyana Kaur, who just came home with me about half an hour ago. The pleasure of her company is requested too, but she is a shy little thing, and is hiding behind the other desk in our computer room for the moment. We've been warned that she is cautious, so it's cool. Her Auntie Sandy helped me get her home, and helped keep the other very curious kids at bay while I got her set up in this room, where she'll be sequestered for the next three or four days. She'll need it, being stressed out right now. Stosh and Roxie are camped out by the door, waiting to see the newcomer; Brandy, still a kitten, is too busy playing. She really is a lovely little miss, our Odessa. She's now getting a bit curious herself as I type, and has finally come out to sniff around. She is truly velvet soft; it is a pleasure to touch her fur, a pleasure almost naughty, like I'm indulging in way too much of the finest chocolate. I cannot believe that this beauty was rejected by so many, because she's all black. Oh well. Their idiocy was their loss, and our gain. What a delight: living art! I so love having kitties around. When my Fritzie was living we wanted more, but we were afraid of upsetting the delicate balance that comes when a diabetic feline is finally regulated. Stress can set them off into crazy-sugarland. Now I can't get enough! I love the wrestling matches and the ham-stealing, the liveliness of multiple cats. and I'm sure Fritzie speaks to them from the summer-land: "Hey, Brandy, if you want to get Daddy *really* good, just get on his pillow at 4 in the morning and purr really, really loud. That'll knock his Jockeys off!" Louie didn't believe in channeling before now... So our family is growing with our new, beautiful Russian princess. She's a gem and a prize, and I'm proud to have her with us. Please join me and Louie in a hearty welcome to our newest furbaby! Blessed be, Baha Awwww.... Welcome Odessa!!! I look forward to getting to know you better over the years.

Congrats on your new addition! I thought she must be a Russian Blue with a name like that, but then read on to see that she is a black kitty. I guess you've just given her a whimsical (but very pretty) name.

You'll find these hoomins particularly well trained at cat slavitude, a kitty couldn't ask for better! They are also linked in with a whole bunch of other cat slaves, who will also adore your visage and marvel at your activities. You will be a much loved kitty. Yowie well, good news indeed. May Odessa bring you and the family many years of happiness, I'm sure she will.

You are so lucky to have got her, Baha. She sounds wonderful. If she had been in a shelter over here in Europe she would have been snapped up long ago. A lucky charm cat!

If she had [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > (you can see my black kitty at www.jump.to/hugokatt ) > Elisabet Many thanks! Europe must not have the superstitions common to North America. I've now talked to several people who worked at different shelters and all have told me that they won't allow a black cat to be adopted out at Halloween time because of stories about ritual abuse of black cats by people who call themselves Satanists. We've adopted one of our cats from the Ten Lives shelter already, so the foster-home called our vet and the Ten Lives Club president for character references. I think that's the only reason we got Odessa. I am sure our little princess is a lucky charm cat, and once we get her "broken in" and integrated, things will go well. Just out of curiosity, where in Europe are you from? Blessed be, Baha > Many thanks! Europe must not have the superstitions common to North > America. Here's my favorite quote on that subject: "A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere." - Groucho Marx Joyce > > Many thanks!

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > "A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going > somewhere." - Groucho Marx Beautiful!!! You've brought to mind another; and any Mark Twain afficionados, please correct me if I'm wrong: "If a man were to be crossed with a cat, it would improve man, but deteriorate the cat."

Elisabet > Just to satisfy your curiosity, I live in the south of Sweden. > We don't have Halloween here, although storekeepers try to introduce it. Here in Finland, too. It's silly, because it's a Catholic holiday and Scandinavia hasn't had many Catholics since the Reformation. Besides, we have our own similar thing at Easter, when kids dress up as witches and go around with a coffee pot and ask for coins or sweets. We don't need another feast for kids to go around begging. ;o) SignatureMarina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki > > Just to satisfy your curiosity, I live in the south of Sweden. > > We don't have Halloween here, although storekeepers try to introduce it. > > Here in Finland, too. It's silly, because it's a Catholic holiday and > Scandinavia hasn't had many Catholics since the Reformation. Halloween itself--October 31--is not a Catholic holiday in the strictest sense of the word. The word itself derives from "All Hallows Eve," the day before the Feast of All Saints, November 1. That is the true Catholic holiday, and the North American custom of begging for treats and suchlike comes from a tradition of dressing as ghouls to frighten evil spirits away from villages so they may receive the full blessings of the saints. Now it's just another marketing trick and it seems to be spreading like fungus from what Lisa has said. I have never heard of the Finnish custom you've described. Can you give any history on it?

Here is a short article on it: http://hem.bredband.net/berteg/sweaster.htm Here's a long one on Easter celebrations in Finland. Scroll down to witches if you don't want to read it all.

You have landed with a very loving cat family and can look forward to years of being cared for in the best way. We are looking forward to stories of your experiences as you join your family.
