Sasvermont is one of the earliest persons I learned to know a little closer at PT.

Therefore I was excited to meet her. She lives on an island in beautiful Lake Champlain, in a wonderful old wooden house. Many people here know her porch, the kitties’ favorite summer place.

We were so curious to see three Abyssinians and they were overwhelming: all 3 girls are tinier than Filou who would be a big boy among them, and all 3 are so friendly, playful, graceful and social. I must admit that we started to call them “our favorite kitty girls”.

Miley is her mom’s girl:



Chloe is the most playful- after all she’s still a kitten! It was fun for all of them to have company and play with us- and it was fun for us to play with them as our boys are senior gentlemen compared to the inhabitants of Camp Vermont.



All of the kitties came to our bed: Chloe regularly sleeping under the cover, Juni part time- also sleeping under the cover or between quilt and sheet and Miley for short visits. She has the roughest tongue and loves to lick your cheek

We went to the Shelburne museum (old farmhouses, beautifully restored and decorated plus more quilts!!!) where we met Zoe (Vermontcat). She knew everything and showed us around- and she gave us a coupon for Vermont’s Teddy Bear Factory. For that coupon we could make a bear ourselves. You may wonder what we did with a bear but it turned out we also could make a cat! And so we made a grey and white cat named Eddie- because his pink nosie reminded us of Chicago Eddie .

(He sits here in front of the catnip, F+T aren’t interested in and sorry you cannot see his nosie )
