splinter

This is our old cat, Splinter.

 

He was named, as fans would know,

after the rat in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

 

Splinter lived with us when we had

Laddie, and he would drive poor Laddie nuts.

 

Laddie liked things just so, and then

Splint would come along and go nuts.

 

Laddie found Splinter as a kitten and

the two got on very well.

 

Splinter and Timothy... another cat,

got into trouble one night, I caught them

in the kitchen playing socker with stolen apples from the tree next door.

 

there was a bumping sound which kept me awake... so I went out there to

sort it out, yelled at them and threw

their apples away.

 

ten minutes later it started again with

more stolen apples.

 

One day I watched as Tim went up the

tree and stole more.

 

Splinter got to know Benny very well

after Laddie passed away, and lived

with Benny most of his life.

 

One year Splinter got sick, and it turned

out to be feline AIDS... he was treated

and lived well for one year, but died the

next.

 

It's an awful disease, and there's a

vaccine for it now, so please see your

vet about this before your cat gets it.
