Boomer

BoomerThis is Boomer the day we brought him home at about seven weeks old. He loved to hide out in my daughter’s closet and sit on her dollhouse porch peeking out at us. We named him Boomer because he used to bounce around like a baby kangaroo. 2 1/2 years later he still has us and his big doggie “sister” wrapped around his little paw.

I think Boomer is saying I will sit here until I am sure about you guys..
Obviously it all worked out in you favor :)

Hi Evangeline,
How are you doing? Hope your cold is better. I’m so glad Bo has found a home and did I hear right, he had successful surgery on his leg? He got to keep his leg. I’m happy for him. I heard from Ivory bill, earlier. He posted on Emmy lou’s site. I read Dee’s post yesterday, later in the day, where she was tempting us with desserts! lol I guess we can just eat smaller portions!

Hi Renee in Arkansas, Bo did have a successful surgery. The vet said that it went very well, and I am actually waiting to hear back from Mrs.Ginger (the lady who owns the rescue) on whether or not Bo is coming home today or not. I sure hope he comes back soon, i’m starting to miss my snuggle buddy!
Thanks again everybody for donating for Bo, I can’t even begin to tell you how much it means to me and Mrs.Ginger

Thanks for asking Renee. I don’t think what I have is a cold. I think it’s more like sinus problems. As long as it’s not allergies to my kitties, it’s cool :)

I know this sounds gross but I was told if the mucus is yellow it is sinus infection if it is green it is a cold.

Hey, Evangeline, sorry you are still under the weather, but I hear it’s plenty cold up there! Hope you feel better soon. Don’t think the fuzzbutts have anything to do with it!!! I hope! Feel better soon.

What a handsome guy, striking blue eyes

Comment by Margaret Case

Is Boomer, by any chance, deaf? A large percentage of white cats with blue eyes are born deaf. I have a white cat with one blue eye and one yellow and she is deaf..She is a very happy 19 year old gal, though. I was just curious.

most cats only live 2 like 15!!!

Actually, growing up we had 3 cats live past 15, and I think one was 19 or 20 when we had him put down. Good genes and good care can go a long way.

Our grey cat Killer lived to be 17……..sometimes I swear I feel him around my ankle, or hear his meow, So its like he is still here……

I had a siamese flame point/mix tabby who was white with blue eyes and he was not deaf. And he lived to be 18 (only had to be put down because he had a stroke). Boomer looks like baby Charley! (poor Charley, I miss him so much)

No, he’s not deaf. He actually has very good hearing. I can click my tongue for him at one of the house and he comes running from the other end… Maybe because he has some ginger coloring on him now he isn’t affected by whatever seems to be the problem with white kitties?? He now has light carmel/ginger spots on his back…

He looks a bit wary — but obviously it didn’t take him long to make himself at home and start running the place!

I have heard of a lovely cat
Whoae story is quite true-
Boomer is a gorgeous boy
With eyes of azure blue.
He used to bounce around the place
Just like a kangaroo.
I do remain quite convinced
That you’ll do what he demands of you.

Great poem Ivory Bill. I am not talented like you are so I find things..here is some more Cat Haiku
Cat Haiku’s

The food in my bowl
Is old, and more to the point
Contains no tuna.

So you want to play.
Will I claw at dancing string?
Your ankle’s closer.

There’s no dignity
In being sick: which is why
I don’t tell you where.

Seeking solitude
I am locked in the closet.
For once I need you.

Tiny can, dumped in Plastic bowl
Presentation, One star;
service: none

Am I in your way?
You seem to have it backwards:
This pillow’s taken.

Your mouth is moving;
Up and down, emitting noise.
I’ve lost interest.

The dog wags his tail,
Seeking approval. See mine?
Different message.

My brain: walnut-sized.
Yours: largest among primates.
Yet, who leaves for work?

Most problems can be
Ignored. The more difficult
Ones can be slept through.

My affection is conditional.
Don’t stand up,
It’s your lap I love.

Cats can’t steal the breath
Of children. But if my tail’s
Pulled again, I’ll learn.

I don’t mind being
Teased, any more than you mind
A skin graft or two.

So you call this thing
Your cat carrier. I call
These my blades of death.

Toy mice, dancing yarn
Meowing sounds.
I’m convinced: You’re an idiot.

Boomer is so adorable. I have a friend who collects dollhouses & her daughter’s cat, Gus, used to hide out in the porches whenever he visited. I’m wondering what kind of big doggie sister Boomer controls.
