CAT SMACK

Anything you can do, I can do better... Have a looksee for yourself and decide which one does it better.         Renata                            Frank

Cat Smack is the home of Frank & Renata. Resistance is futile. There is no one who doesn't like fluffy kittens...but we are not fluffy kittens.   We are hardcore. The Lady & The Man are our Humans. If you haven't figured it out already, The Lady writes our page, but we run the show.   The Man tries to keep up when he isn't busy scooping our poop and being a sports broadcaster.   Renata is sweet and Frank is sass.

I'm not a delicate flower, but I still "help" The Lady Ok, so you got me. I want the treats. Renata, the "Good One" says.... Renata, the Maine Coon Kitty says... We want to be sure to take a moment to let all of you know that The Lady is doing better everyday. Thank you all for your support & encouragement. From all of us here at Cat Smack.

Hear me roar! I am a lion, can't you hear? - Renata

Back September 13th, 2010, our Kitty Girl, Mitzi passed away.  We are blessed to have had such a long time with her, and without a doubt, she knew she was loved. Anyone who came into our home over the years was greeted with a big, fat, black cat that flopped over on her side, rolling until her legs were all up in the air to make sure you saw her and got a good look at her belly.  Like a dog, she sure enjoyed a belly rub, taking attention from everyone. I’d like share how Mitzi came into Merle’s life, and eventually mine. Before Merle and I met, he and his best friend Will were roommates for many years.  In 1996, they learned of a cat at the Animal Shelter where Will’s friend Denise worked.  This 2 year old cat had nursed a litter of kittens, (not her own), but was a few days away from being euthanized.  Will and Merle told Denise they would take the cat if there were no other options found.  And this is how Mitzi found her new home! ...

I’m Renata.  I was rescued as a tiny tot from underneath a mobile home by The Lady, who I call Mommy.  She and The Man take good care of me.  It’s been said I’m a Silver Maine Coon, but there is no proof.  I’m very small for my breed if that’s the case. If there is an available lap, I’m on it.  Sometimes even if there is no lap, I have an unblinking stare that wins my Humans over every time. I don’t meow, I churl. It’s a combination of a twirl, purr, chirp. And when I am happy, I churl and drool. Although I’m very classy and elegant I’m not very social, just call me aloof.  If we have company, my favorite place is under the bed. I feel almost the same about the vacuum cleaner because anytime that thing comes out, you won’t see me until the noise is gone for several hours at least. It’s always at the most inconvenient time too! The only people in the world to pet me are my Humans.  Believe me, you have to be somebody I really trust for me to even...
