Since my cat had been AWOL for the past 6 months since staying with my neighbor who was watching her when I went away for a month a few different times, I was thinking about getting a new cat.
The marina is bordered by a parking lot where there are a least a few feral cats running around at all times. There are old standards there...mainly male cats with some kind of medical problem with their eyes or with their fur. They look pretty rough and its easy to feel sorry for them (we have a guy in the neighborhood who cooks for these cats two times a day religiously).
Anyway a few weeks back I noticed a tortoiseshell colored cat hanging out near my boat a few days in a row. The second day I saw her I opened the door, called her, and in she came. The rest as they say, is history.
Her name is CC...(cool cat) She doesn't have a mean bone in her body - I've never actually met a cat like her. She's constantly on my lap cuddling, and she generally listens to me if I sho her away because she's doing something like stepping all over my computer keyboard. She's a big change from my last cat who, if you looked at the wrong way, would try to bite you.
In addition, I hear this tortoise coloration of cat is supposed to be good luck in many cultures. In the states they are sometime called a "money cat."
Here's a pic of "CC." No I'm not trying to use her to contact Mars... she just got neutered.
