Trisha was a beautiful tortoiseshell calico cat. Her Mother was a black and white cat by the name of Honey. Honey was part Siamese, Himalayan, and Domestic Short Hair. Trisha’s Father was a black cat born and raised on our farm.
Trisha was an excellent Mother cat. Trisha never lost one of her kittens. She was very protective of all of her kittens. Trisha would look both ways on the road at least three times before crossing safely to the other side. She also taught each one of her kittens this excellent survival skill.
I had a door flap installed on my cat building. Trisha spent a great deal of time teaching every one of her kittens how to enter and leave the cat building through the door flap. She was very patient with her kittens.
Trisha had one kitten that looked just like she did. I named that particular kitten Elite. Elite loved to sleep with my pet goat Zachary. Zachary licked her fur so much that he gave her a Mohawk in June.
Trisha was an excellent huntress. She would bring home rabbits and mice that she had caught. Her kittens were excellent hunters with Tr, isha’s excellent guidance.
Trisha had one kitten when she was fifteen, and I named him Tinker. Tinker was a beautiful cream-colored kitten. Tinker was born in December but thrived with Trisha’s excellent care.
I had a little heater in my cat building to keep Trisha warm in her old age. Trisha would still go out hunting in the field and ditches in her old age and was still very successful. Trisha lived to be eighteen years old. Trisha has lived longer than any of my other outdoor cats. Trisha died on my farm, and she is buried on my farm. Trisha was a truly remarkable and lovely outdoor cat.
