Meet Minty the (Lone) Musketeer!!

CATS ON TUESDAY

Minty is a handsome Blue Smoke Persian. His late mother was Candy, a Black Persian I adopted from a friend who was 'forced' to give one to me, and his father is Oreo, a stud I got from a breeder who has one too many, that I have to acquire when Candy got on heat.
Minty is the firstborn of this couple of 'husband and wife'. I 'married' them the day I bought Oreo home. Or is it, I got them married? They never proposed to each other.... They just 'did it' the same night they got introduced! Haha..... But that's another story. Whatever...!

Technically, Minty is four years old now. In cat's years he is..... (to be updated once I check the book)

Minty has an interesting and adventerous life in his 4 years. I will relate his story soon. But for now, let's enjoy a video of Minty when he was 2 weeks old. The kids are teaching him how to walk...err, rather, crawl! Till het got tired and complaining..meeoww! Haha..!



Sorry about the quality of this video. It was taken spontaneously from a PDA with only 2 megapixels. Glad I manage to save this to my computer before the PDA went 'kaput'....is there such a word?

It is interesting to see how Minty has grown since those early kitten days in the video. He is certainly a very handsome cat.

Hi Tricia

Thanks! I managed to save it by coincidence because I need to transfer a document by synch-ing it to the computer. Thank goodness for that! Yes, and sometimes when I watched the video again, I can't believe how he's grown up now.

Hi Obsidian Kitten

Stay tuned in the coming Tuesdays for his stories, but nothing beats the remote control with positive thinking as the batteries...can be aeasy, or can be challenging. Lol.
