OUR BELOVED BLAIREAU




BLAIREAU WAS TAKEN FROM THE HUMANE SOCIETY ON MARCH
2001, LESS THAN A YEAR WHEN WE TOOK MEOWR TO OUR HOME.  
BLAIREAU'S ORIGINAL NAME WAS 'SWEETY.' HOWEVER, WE
DECIDED TO RENAME HER, BECAUSE SWEETY IS TOO CORNY.
THUS, HER NAME IS BLAIREAU.  SHE OFTEN IS ADDRESSED 
BY THIBAUT AND I AS WHITE CAT BECAUSE SHE'S MOSTLY 
WHITE. 

BLAIREAU IS A FINE CALICO CAT.  SHE HAS ORANGE AND
BLACK SPOTS ON HER SOFT FUR, WHICH MATCHES HER SWEET
HEART SHAPED PINK NOSE AND HER PINK PAWS.  sHE IS VERY
QUICK AND SHE CAN GET OUT OF UNWANTED SITUATIONS VERY
FAST.  BLAIREAU WAS ALSO DUBBED "AN ESCAPE ARTIST'
IN THE HUMANE SOCIETY SINCE SHE ALWAYS TRY TO GET 
AWAY FROM UNSUSPECTING ADMIRERS LIKE US HUMANS.  

HOWEVER, DESPITE HER VERY SHY PERSONALITY, BLAIREAU
IS ALSO VERY SWEET.  BLAIREAU MAY BE DIFFICULT TO
CATCH BUT WHEN SHE'S IN THE MOOD TO BE PET, SHE CAN
BE ALL OVER YOU.  YOU'LL OFTEN HEAR HER TRYING TO 
COMMUNICATE TO HUMANS, BECAUSE SHE'LL MEOWR AND LOOK
AT YOU VERY WITH HER TANTALIZING, LIGHT EMERALD EYES.
SHE'LL LIE DOWN ON YOUR LAP AND SHE'llEVEN FOLLOW YOU
WHEREVER YOU GO.  

THE BEST THING ABOUT BLAIREAU IS SHE LIKES TO SLEEP
ON OUR BED AT NIGHT.  THIBAUT LIKES TO SAVOR THAT 
MOMENT BECAUSE IT'S ALMOST TOO DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO
GET CLOSE TO THIS CAT.  ON THE OTHER HAND, BLAIREAU
IS ALSO THE HAIRIEST CAT IN THE WORLD AND SHE SEEMS
TO SHED HAIR EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY.  I COULD ALMOST
MAKE A SOFT, WARM COAT OUT OF HER FUR.         

WITH ALL THE STORIES I COULD TELL ABOUT BLAIREAU,
I'M SURE YOU NOTICED THAT SHE'S VERY WELL LOVED.
SHE'LL ALWAYS BE OUR FIRST FEMALE CAT EVER.

APPROXIMATE AGE: ~2-3 YEARS IN 2001 accdg. to the vet
SHE WAS SKINNY AND SICK(W/ FELINE COLD) WHEN WE FIRST 
TOOK HER HOME.  BLAIREAU HAS GAINED WEIGHT EVERSINCE
BUT WE STILL CAN'T EXPLAIN HER FLAPPY TUMMY.  WE THINK 
SHE PROBALY HAD KITTENS BEFORE.
