Minnie the Moocher

Minnie, a Street Cat

Since this also is a blog on American Life, I wanted to present to you one of our street cats -- Minnie the Moocher! Minnie has been around for a couple of years now.  It took one year of my wife sitting next to her at 10 p.m. before Minnie became even a bit civilized.  Now she sticks around the house quite a bit, and wants my attention.  She does not know how to play at all -- not with balls or really any toy.  But she does crave for love.

Black, our other street cat, is very jealous of Minnie, and often behaves badly out of jealousy. Minnie rolls with every punch, just going along with the flow.
