Jimmy Mack

Nearly 14 years ago, the Animal Control Officer brought two male kittens and their mother into the practice on Thanksgiving day. I was "in the market" for a new kitten and wanted a ginger tabby. Once I met both kittens, I couldn't decide which one to choose - the healthy ginger kitten or the sickly buff kitten. I actually wanted both, of course, but had promised George that I would only take one. He finally realized I couldn't choose one over the other and agreed we could adopt both. I wanted him to feel attached to them so I asked for his suggestions for their names. He came up with Jimmy and Mack from the song by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas (we named their mom, Martha).

 

I truly can't imagine having only one of them. They are, of course, entirely unique, and along with Ella, have been a huge part of my life for almost a decade and a half.
