Animal Crackers Club
A chapter in the book Cat Tales
Dilly
by damommy
The day I met Dilly, it was pouring rain so hard it felt like bb’s hitting my skin, but I had to go out. I’d seen this tiny, tiny kitten on my deck, scared out of her wits. When I went to pick her up, she bolted into some thick, high monkey grass.
The way the water was already pooling in flash flooding, I knew she’d drown if I couldn’t find her. By now, I’m drenched to the bone, and can hardly see for the rain in my face. It took a while to find her.
At first, I thought she was blind, but when I got her inside, I saw her eyes were matted shut. After cleaning them up, she was certainly sighted, and a lovely little long-haired calico with some of the prettiest markings I’d ever seen.
She proved to be very brave, not a bit afraid of the larger cats in the house, and was soon running around as though she was as big as they were. Everyone adored her, and Yoda, who we’ve since lost, became her nanny, or manny, or canny, whatever.
Her name was fitting because she was truly a dilly of a cat. I say she’s two cats. Her face is divided down the middle, black on one side, orange and white on the other, and she has the cutest expression.
She very cuddly and loving, but she still runs with the big guys, giving as good as she gets in a wrestling match.
I’ve been blessed with this little girl.
