A Note from Cal's Mom....
Cal was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure (CRF) in October of 2003.
After about 8 months of extreme measures including fluid injections, and
enough medication to build a pharmacy, we finally gave up the battle on May 3, 2004.
Cal was loved more than any cat on the face of this earth, and my heart will
never mend from losing her. I just have to pray that she is finally free
and forgives me for what I put her through to keep her with me...as well as
daring to play God and take her from this world gently, instead of letting her
go in her own time. I'll suffer this guilt for the rest of my life.
I fought with the idea of taking down her website, and couldn't look at it myself for almost 4 years...but
it's a memorial to her beauty and courage then, and I guess I have no
right to take it away now. She was a very very special little girl, and
will never be out of her mama's heart. Be safe, Baby...and let
Bastet watch over you since I can't be there to protect you for awhile. If there is really a heaven, we will be together again. I miss you
more than life itself.
Thanks to the CRF group on Yahoo, and many wonderful CRF cat owners. Cal literally owed this group her last 8 months of life.... CRF WEBSITE If your cat has just been diagnosed, please visit these sites immediately.
It may mean the difference of months or years that you can keep her with you. CRF WEBSITE-Tanya's Site
Calico Lee's Glamour Cats
Hello Dahlings....
Welcome to my world of glamourous feline girls and guys....we decided it
was high time that the "celebrity" sites included some of OUR beautiful
people as well as the human type.
What I shall endeavor to do here is to show the world some of my friends
and maybe some that are fortunate enough to own a celebrity human also.
My human mom is hopelessly obsessed with this singer named Davy Jones. It is some
hangup from her kitten...er...childhood, I guess. She insists that we have to make
this first page mostly about him and HIS cats, so I guess we will....sigh....
This is my mom's greatest love, DAVY, and his cat, whose name was Puss-puss. (This is a very OLD picture...:-)
This is one of Puss-puss's kittens. We don't know her name, but I myself wanted to have
her picture on here because she's CALICO, and we CALICOS are all special. I'm sure she
was destined for great things!
Now, back to ME...my Favpurrite subject, of course.
My name is Calico Leigh Lee. I was a very mature lady of 16. I used to be VERY plump. In fact, I weighed almost 30 lbs. But Mama said I was just "big-boned". I was quite sophisticated, naturally, and I knew I was a queen. My mom bought a condo FOR ME...all the windows were my height.
I made sure she got a screened in porch so I could watch the birds, and I glared at any of the "ordinary" cats who dare to even glance in my direction. I was tough as nails, too. I would take on anything that looked like another cat. And with my size...well...I usually scared the stripes off even the toughest old tom cats. Opossums were another story...but we won't go into that..heehee.
Here I am in one of my typical positions. Aren't I fabulous?
