Hi! I'm Spencer Eugene.
I am a gray tabby with a copper undercoat. Everyone says I am real handsome. I have very pretty green eyes. I was born to a feral mother who for unknown reasons deserted me on 20 November 1996 when I was about 2 1/2 weeks old, therefore my Birthday is about 4 Nov 96. It was raining and very cold and I was crying all day. Finally some big human found me and took me into an office with a bunch of lady humans. They didn't have a clue what to do with me so the put me in a box. Shortly my Daddy came to work and heard me and found me and picked me up. I was cold, hungry and verrrrry sick. He called my Meowmie and told her to come and get me in a hurry. Meowmie got there lickety split and as soon as she saw me she put me under her coat and ran out. I felt so warm, but I was scared. Meowmie stopped and got me some kitty milk and a bottle, hurried home and warmed some milk for me and fed me. Boy did that taste GOOD!

Meowmie introduced me to my D*G brothers and sisters, all 5 of them. One of them immediately started cleaning me and taking care of me. Her name is Sugar. She was so sweet. She would play with me, and I would bite her and use my fingernails on her and all she did was lay there and let me do it. I don't know what I would have done without her.

The next day I went and met my doctor, Dr. Tammy. She said I had pneumonia and a couple of other things. She gave Meowmie a bunch of medicine for me to take. I wasn't too happy about that. However, it did make me well. Dr. Tammy said I weighed in at 240 grams (that is about 8.5 oz). Well, I guess Meowmie and Daddy did a pretty good job because I now weigh 18+ pounds.

I run this house with an iron paw, but I wear a Velvet Glove over it to show that I am not a real bad dictator. However, I do Demand to be served and waited upon, and both Meowmie and Daddy understand this and cater to my every wish. Of course, I am not spoiled, just pampered, as I so deserve. I like to play with a shoe string which Daddy drags around the house, then, when I get in a box, he flicks it at me and I catch it. I tease Daddy then, because I hold on real tight and won't let go. Also, whenever Daddy gets on the computer I go in there with him and Demand that I be allowed up on his lap. Then I just continue up onto the desk and start typing or else sit in front of the monitor so I can see really well what it is he is trying to do. Of course, he has to quit what he is doing, no matter what, and pull up Hope's page so I can check it out for anything new, and check the Couch Cam for the latest picture. This must be done before I start to purr and give my Daddy head butts and he has to pet me and pat my back. I have him pretty well trained. After this, I usually get down and lay next to him and let him finish. I wonder how long it is going to be before he sets up a bed on the desk for me. Probably not too much longer. Before I found Hope's web site, Daddy only used his computer for work, but I changed all that.

I have two cat sisters, Su Zan and Anabell, we all three run this house, and I am sort of glad to have help, after all, I need to meditate sometimes. All three of us have been fixed so we cannot have babies, and that is just fine with us. We are allowed to go out in the back yard, but only in the back yard. There are a bunch of flowers, a vegetable garden, a dwarf orange tree, a dwarf peach tree, a dwarf cherry tree and a grape vine to play in. We stay in the back yard and never go over the fence. Our d*gs are always out when we are to make sure no other kitties come in the yard to give us a bad time. Our d*gs like us, but they don't want any other animals around here, especially when us three rulers are out. Meowmie and Daddy have the yard sprayed for fleas, and we are not allowed to be out there for a couple of days after spraying, even though they have been assured the spray will have no ill effect on us. Meowmie and Daddy are not going to take chances with us. After all, what would they do if anything happened to one of us? How could they survive if we were not here to supurrrrrvise and rule.

Spencer
