    Who Me? I'm Just Along for The Ride!

    Let us start from the beginning. The Tribe has been remiss and apologizes a 1000 times- we've been visiting PT on a fairly regular basis, but not posting much.Enjoy reading about all the goings on, but Mom has been crazy busy and well, that's our excuse.
    But now we have a story that, well, is just pretty darned amazing even by Tribe standards. As some of you know, the Tribe consists of 1 blind cat, 2 one eyed cats, 1 black meezer type, 1 fugitive black & white meezer type and 1 Seattle street cat who goes by the name of Scooter Pie.
    But we promised you a story....
    Phone call:
    "Hello?"
    "Oh, Hi Honey. Where are you?"
    "I'm on my way home from work, but I decided to stop and fill up the 1 ton Dodge dually pickup".
    "OK, that's interesting.....why call me about it"
    "You won't believe what I found under the hood when I went to check the oil"
    "Don't say it...."
    "Yep, hanging onto the airfilter up front near the battery"
    "No freakin' way! How did it hang on? Weren't you driving on I-5?"
    "Yep, on I-5 at speeds upwards of 50-60 miles per hour. I'm in shock!"
    "Where is it now?
    "Asleep in the crew cab on my bag. Dirty as hell, but in one piece."
    "Meet you at the vet's office?"
    "Yep, See you there...Bye"

    And now, introducing our little stowaway....we don't really have a name at the moment, but if she becomes a Tribe member we guess that will present itself. Tiger has already introduced himself to her - she's in a carrier for now until we are set up for proper introductions to all. Tiger is the main UN ambassador for The Tribe and he is good at it. Already has her purring and only got one hiss for his negotiations!

    She is beautiful!

    Before my husband got rid of his full size Bronco he had taken it to the mechanic for an oil change or something...they could hear little meows coming form somewhere but couldn't find the source. Put the truck up on the lift and there, on the gas tank, was a little kitten. They called and asked if we were missing anyone...said no, they explained the question. They kept him and named him Bronco! Last December 28 hubby popped the hood on his new full size diesel and pulled a little grey less than one pound furrball off the turbo charger...she stayed and we named her Turbo! They are amazing, aren;t they! So glad it was a happy ending! Welcome little one!

    She is just gorgeous !!! She looks like she could possibly have some Turkish Angora in her. What a little beauty and a smart little beauty considering she knew just what vehicle to attach herself to. She could smell that it belonged to an animal lover and was a ticket to a nice new warm loving home.

    I think Freeway would be a cute name for her.

    She was very, very lucky both to come out of her adventure unscathed and to find the right family.

    Since she is so pretty, or "bonny" as a Scot would say, and you live near Bonney Lake, perhaps you should call her Bonny.

    Update on our little stowaway...

    Thanks for all the comments. We are beginning to believe that she is quite an extraordinary little cat.
    Initial vet check revealed lots of fleas, no injuries, and no FIV/FELV...Yay! She's eating and drinking just fine, but is skin and bones, so we are feeding her a/d and keeping and eye on her energy level. She's sleeping a lot, but played with her mouse today and did an little exploring.
    What is pretty amazing is how calm she is around the dog and the 6 boys. She's very "poised" for a 4 month old. Doesn't seem too stressed and is making herself at home. The younger guys are doing great with her and she's out of her little introduction cage and currently sleeping on the futon next to Tiger and Scooter. The older ones will take some time to come around - they don't like change so much, but she is so laid back and submissive, that I can't imagine they will think she is a threat. I suspect she has been around other cats as she is just so comfortable with meeting all of them and seems to know how to fit into the group.
    Since hubby saved her, he got naming rights. We've decided to call her Antoinette (Annie for short) - we think such a pretty girl needs a pretty name.
    More photos this weekend, but for now just letting you all know she is doing well after her wild truck ride.
