Dandy 1987 - 2001


I can't believe it's been five years since Dandy left me on December 19th. He was a wonderful cat, a typical Singapura: people lover and the most outgoing and friendly cat I've ever lived with. He loved riding in cars (not in the carrier, complained bitterly about that, but in his harness); would stick his head out the window like a dog! And actually enjoyed a trip to the vet (not the jabs, complained about that also, loudly!), but meeting new people who would make over him, and a chance to explore the examining room and all the ineresting smells...they always had a hard time keeping him on the examining table, he wanted to check everything out. When he first came, he decided Misty was a mommy-type cat, and made up to her: she hissed and spat, but he wore her down and soon she was washing and mothering him, just as Porsha is doing with Mildred, and Clementine with Bella! Dandy, you are gone, but never forgotten', run free, little boy! See you again on the Rainbow Bridge!

Re: Dandy 1987 - 2001


I have lots of stories about that little character: one of my favorites is lap-sharing, None of my cats believed in it, although the lap is big enough for two. Dandy was what you would call passive-agressive, he never tried to evict the cat in the lap that he wanted...what he would do was get on my shoulder, and then very, very slowly slide down..I am not built like Dolly Parton .....so no problem sliding, until he was on top of the cat in the lap...then he'd wiggle a little until the cat being sat on would mutter a obscenity and leap off...and Dandy would settle comfortably with a satisfied look on his face. Worked every time!! Oh, I do miss him!
