On a rainy, cold night in February, 1999, we found this very wet, scared little black and white beauty on our porch. We took her in, dried her off, and...well, she never left. We learned shortly thereafter that she was "with kitten." Minkly joined our family very willingly, but, becoming a totally indoor cat was, I believe, quite the new experience for her. She showed absolutely no fear of us, loved being petted and carried around, and came running for attention each time we called her. March 20th, Minkly delivered three beautiful babies in the middle of our couch with us in full attendance of the event. She encouraged us to hold the kittens, and very proudly purred excessively as if to say, "Look what I did!". Minkly has been a wonderful Mom to Polar Bear, Panther and Callie. -Bari

OH WOW, what a wonderful story and you told it so well! Minkly is a BEAUTIFUL cat! She looks so fluffy and her eyes are gorgeous! Her markings are very pretty too! How did you come up with the name Minkly?
Good Morning All!
Good morning. I wasn't sure whether to post a cat of the day or not. But decided it would be okay and that a sweet kitty face would be good on this sad day. So Minkly, you're it! A sweet and beautiful face, a good momma and a lucky kitty to have found her furrever home w/Bari! How photogenic you are! And what beautiful babies you have!
beautifull beautifull baby
Fructiferous Fuzz.
Awww, she looks like a very sweet kitty! Except for the colors, she reminds me of Pumpkin. She even has the fluffy toes!

Minkly what a beautiful and stately kitty you are. So pretty. I am assuming that Polar Bear, Panther and Callie are the kittens you had?? If they are I bet they are as pretty as you. So very glad you found your forever home with Bari.
Thanks everyone for the sweet words. Minkly is a total heart stealer - one of the sweetest most loving cat we have ever had. If you haven't been to her web page - I hope you will www.cathappy.com/minkly.htm
As noted, she is the mother of the lovely Polar Bear www.cathappy.com/polarbear.htm
and the handsome Panther www.cathappy.com/panther.htm
She got her name when her Daddy started saying what a little Mink she was...she has always been very, very feminine and flirtatious!
Thanks again for the sweet words. And I hope you are all flying your flags today...a date we should never forget!
And yes, she does have fluffy toes!
Me again...
I meant to add above that we still need homes for our 3 fosters...please share their page - and thanks in advance for doing so!
