These are the only two pictures of her
that I could find.  I wasn't much of
a camera person at that age.
 Isn't she pretty?

She used to wait patiently for my
Dad to come home and sit in his
chair and then she would come and get
up in his lap and "make bread" until she
felt he was comfortable and
then she would sleep.

She would also eat about anything that
Dad ate, even watermelon, a hamburger
with everything and even oranges.

She would follow you around the neighborhood
like a dog would.  She even followed
me to school once. She was missing for
almost a week once around the 4th of July.
We thought she was lost forever, but one
morning she showed up again. It was later
decided that she had spent the weekend in
the neighbors garage as they had gone away
and she used to go in there to explore.
She didn't stray far from home after that.

She never answered to her name, which
seemed to change a lot.  I also called her
Mitzi and Serepina but the only name she
ever answered to was "Kitty".

I found another picture of Sabrina
hiding in a tomato box. There was
a place near us where you could
go buy large boxes of tomatoes.
She used to hide in them when
they were empty. She always acted like
when she was in one she was invisible.
Here she is "being invisible".

Since I was little and I played
with plastic cowboys and indians, she took
one particular indian as her own and that
is the only thing she really played with.
If you threw the indian, she would
fetch him and bring him back to you.
She used to stalk us too and would
come sneaking up to you when you least
expected it and pounce. She had the uncanny
ability to always do it when we were
watching scarey movies like "The Thing".

Unfortunately, being an indoor/outdoor cat
(they all were during those days), she
was struck and killed by a car one
day right in front of our house.
 A very sad day for all of us.
She was only 7 years old.

Writing all of this down now has
been very upsetting because I see how
stupid it was to let her outside
like that but the only cats who
stayed indoors all the time during those
days were declawed and she had her claws.
Not many people declawed cats in those days.

Indoor cats are known to live much
longer than an outdoor cat and they
can still have active lives. Please
consider making your cat "indoors only"
so you don't go through the same
unhappiness that we did.


Sabrina is featured in the Calypso Cat

And she also went to the birthday party
for Sassy being held at Rainbow Bridge.

Sabrina received this special gift from
another Bridge Kid kitty named Bo.
Thanks Nancy and Bo for this lovely gift.
