Free Kittuns - an Essay by Jim Willis, © 2002
Gentle eyes that see so much,paws that have the quiet touch, Purrs to signal "all is well" and show more love than words could tell. Graceful movements touched with pride, a calming presence by our side -- A friendship that takes time to grow -- Small wonder why we love them so. Author Unknown
In America and other Christian countries, the tabby cat has a legend of its own. As the Christ child lay in the manger, no animal - not even the gentle donkey or the faithful shepherd dog - could soothe Him to sleep. But when a little tabby jumped lightly into the manger and began to purr a lullaby, the Babe fell asleep at last. Ever since, all tabbies' foreheads have borne an M in token for the Madonna's gratitude.
