I thought I would write a blog on one of my favorite pets while growing up.  Her name was Penny and she was a spotted white cat with a multicolored fluffy tail.  We changed Penny’s name to Penny-rella after her one-time performance as Cinderella.

One day we got all our cats together for the Cinderella play.  Since Penny was playing the lead, we changed the name of the play to Penny-rella.  I remember sewing a blue dress with white lace on it for her leading role.  Not that our cats wanted to wear dresses but they were generally pretty agreeable to all the extra attention we gave them.  We invited our mom to watch the performance.

As I recall, Penny-rella was a temperamental actress and ran off during one part of the play.

Penny was also fearless and could walk across the top of our swing set, turn around at the end and come back.

Penny was a great pet but sadly one day she vanished.  Our cats were strictly outdoor cats unless one ran into the house, jumped on the table and tried to lick the butter.  We think a coyote might have caught her.

However, I still like to think that somewhere her linage continues on and perhaps, as I write, another performance of Cat Cinderella is going on.
