General Yee
—
Submitted by
Tanner Burhoe & Sherri
Skanes of Ventura,
California
When you come to the word
DEFIANT in the dictionary
of all things CAT, my image
of GENERAL YEE is used for
illustration . . . and this
is why: this little pack of
trouble came into this world
defying the odds, nature,
and fate itself. Born to a
feral mother who was hit by
a car when he was just days
old, his shrieking (as only
a Siamese can) brought help
and a new life for both
himself and his siblings. Our family lost our fifteen
year old Siamese to seizures
just two months before this
little guy showed up, and we
didn't know if it was too
soon to be able to give our
hearts again. But he stole
them away rather quickly,
and immediately began to
craft the lifestyle HE
wanted, regardless of
whether or not WE wanted it.
For example, The General's
rules deem that all dogs,
Golden and otherwise, are
his personal playthings and
are to be used for climbing,
biting, chasing, and the
occasional batting at
(especially wagging tails).
Believe it or not, the dogs
let him get away with this.
We humans are to provide
fresh food and water, only
the finest grain in the
sandbox, and interesting
places for afternoon naps—fading
sunbeams preferred (see
photo). Any attempt to
redirect, correct, or
otherwise chasten will be
purposefully, and
dramatically, ignored
(again, see photo). In turn,
he freely gives us his love
and a roaring purr, and the
honor of his presence in our
home. Not a bad life, eh? ;
)

happy life he now has.

no clue he is "different,"

happiest, most affectionate
cats we've ever shared our
lives with.
