Meeko has been with us since late June, when we found her in the storage room of our carport. She was hungry and scared out of her little wits. In the weeks that followed, I asked for help naming her, and you provided wonderful responses and great stories, too. Everything you said turned out to be true. Dogs may think they're human, but cats think they're god.
Cats have an impeccable sense of timing.
Or the best time to do a big stinky in the litter box is when the house is full of company. My friend Laura has three cats and says a line forms the minute granules hit the pan. As the months have gone by and we've gotten to know Miss Meeko, I'm convinced that she wandered away from her mother way too early. She never learned to meow. She still makes little squeaky, chirping noises, and sometimes her mouth moves but no sound comes out.
