LC


This is LC showing off her long legs.  LC stands for Little Cow because the Big Thing thought that her black and white patten was like a cow's.  LC also stands for Lucky Cat, because when she was adopted from the shelter, she was badly infected with ear mites.  In fact her whole head was so badly infected with them that her eyes got glued shut at night when she slept.  The Big Thing noticed that she was bumping into things and wiped her eyes with a damp cloth.  He then took her straight to the vet and got medicine for her.  She didn't like the treatment much, but it got rid of the mites.  LC is 13 years old now and still very active.  She and Skeeter have a high fence around the back yard so they can play outside safely.  The Big Thing keeps a close watch on them while they are outside.  She likes to go outside and hunt for mousies and froggies.    She's pretty good at it, though she fell in the pond once while chasing a frog.  She also likes to play with the big goldfish in the pond a bit, but she doesn't catch them.  She is a good climber and jumper and likes to get on the top platform of the cat condo.  She likes it up there because it gives her a good view of the aquarium.  She does love fish.  When the Big Thing goes fishing, he lets her have any left over bait fish and she loves them.

                                       LC loves to catch froggies by the pond.
                                       Of frog legs tartar she is very fond.
                                                    When she hears a plop
                                                     She makes a short hop
                                      And pounces the froggie near the pond.
