Porcha
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



My name is “Porcha”. I live on Nana and Papa’s Porch on Emerald Lake. Papa (aka) "Teach", can tell you the story behind the names that he gives to things; even if they are not what others call them. My previous owners called me something else; but, I must have done something wrong to my previous owner; because they abandoned me this last winter in Wisconsin. I wish I knew what I did wrong so I could meow, “I’m Sorry”. Nana and Papa are sure nice though. I hope to one day show them how much I love them and I hope I never do anything wrong to cause them to abandon me. I will stay on their porch if they let me and I will try to not do anything that would hurt them. I really love Nana; because she will warm my milk and bring it to me. She doesn’t care how cold it is outside, she always takes care that I have food and drink. She is always bossing Papa around. Like, several times I have heard her tell him he needs to move the cat house to my side of the porch. Papa was gonna move it, but he probably hasn't had the time, yet. I wonder if Nana took care of her own children the same way she takes care of me. I’ll bet she has a litter or two of grandchildren. Women like that usually do. And they protect them with all their might. She probably bosses them around like she does Papa. She told Papa the other night that when the two prince cats, who sleep on the king size bed are gone; there will be no others. I wonder where that leaves me.

Now, that Papa is a whole different story. He acts like he is tough and rough; but, we have a secret that I promised not to tell. He is such a story teller. I’ll bet his children and grandchildren sit around listening to his stories all the time. I know the inside cats lay around and listen to his stories. I know one thing for sure. He gets a little nervous when his grandchildren or anything else gets near his Koi Pond. Imagine that, Fancy Feast! Enough chat for this porch cat!

I have heard that humans say a picture is worth a thousand words. So, here you go. You make up the words.
