    She is very pretty. How old is she?

  • Mar Silva replied

    She turned up at my husbands auto shop in 2001. Someone just dumped her there. I actually thought she was grey! The vet said then she was probally 2 years old. So I guess she may be 9 or so. She showed up after my mom had died. I always thought that was a sign of sorts. Because she showed up at the shop, I was going to name her Axle. Glad my husband talked me into Ice Baby. :)

    Nice story. I have a simialer one about Blacktop. One day my husband was in our back yard working on the car. When all of a sudden a little black kitten came running acrossed the yard. He crawled up inside the motor and ended up on my husbands shoulder as if he was telling him how to fix the car in his ear. I took him of my husband’s shoulder and shooed him away. Then a few minutes later he was back and did the same thing. We allready had a lady cat at the time and were afraid of how she would reacted to him. Thankfully she treated him like he was her own son.

  • Mar Silva replied

    That’s a great story. They choose us, don’t they!

  • sheena2015

    sheena2015

    Yes they do. That cat was suppose to be my cat but he ended up like my husband better.

  • Mar Silva replied

    “I didn’t know that Cheshire cats always grinned; in fact, I didn’t know cats could grin.” “They all can” said the Duchess “and most of them do.” “I don’t know of any that do,” said Alice politely, feeling quite pleased to have gotten into the conversation. “You don’t know much,” said the Duchess, “and that’s a fact.” – I saw this image and had to quote Alice in Wonderland. Great shot. I’m sure a kitty like Ice Baby inspired Lewis Carroll.

  • Mar Silva replied

    Oh what a great comment. How I do love the Cheshire cat!
    Thanks a million :)
