Paddy Malone
(c) 1996-2008, PetRescue.Com
Paddy is a gorgeous gray and white manx
cat who came to live with us in 1991. He is a real Irish charmer
which is why we called him Paddy! His mother, Pepper, had been living
outside a popular restaurant in downtown Orlando. The staff had been
feeding both her and her sister Biscuit. When we brought them to the
sanctuary we noticed that Pepper was full of milk by the following
morning. This clearly indicated to us that she had babies somewhere. We
took her back to the restaurant and released her. She immediately went
to a building behind the restaurant and disappeared under it. When we
crawled in behind her, we saw three little faces staring back at us -
Paddy, his sister Molly Dodd and his brother Murphy. They were such
beautiful kittens! Paddy was huge. He was twice the size of his brother
and sister. He looked just like a big fluffy guinea pig. All he wanted
to do was eat and sleep!
All three kittens were adopted to very
nice homes. Murphy went to a household with seven cats and very quickly
became the spoiled baby. Paddy and his sister Molly were adopted
together. Unfortunately, their feral roots were never really eradicated
and they were returned to us because they were too shy. They had spent
most of the time hiding from their new family. When we picked them up,
they immediately recognized our scent and clung to us in relief.
Paddy loves
his freedom and thankfully, because of our location, we are able to
provide him with that pleasure. He spends a lot of time in our woods,
coming home only to eat, sleep and have his momma clean him up. He is such
a character. He swaggers around here like a juvenile delinquent but
actually, his bark is worse than his bite. Although he is terribly shy
with strangers, he does have moments when he relents and allows us to
drool all over him! And, of course, we always do!
