Sneakers at the
age of 6yrs. moved to a family friends farm. He
loved roaming free and got along with the animals
there. Indeed, he seemed to thrive at the farm. It
was like returning home to him, and in a matter of
days the great grey ghost cat was totally adjusted
to the farming life. Now, the farmer had a little
daughter who took a liking to the big grey cat. His
very nature was gentle and calming. This trait made
it easy for the family to invite Sneakers into the
house on those cold winter nights. He spent the
winter with the warmth of a family at night; and his
days, watching over the barns and the animals. His
whole world was bright! It was therefore strange
that he chose a very cold frosty night to insist on
going outside. No amount of reasoning would deter
the great cat. The family could not know that
Sneakers had a date with the Lady Luna and was
excited to be on his way. When he was finally
outside, he ran to the open field and once there,
gazed upon the face of the moon. All night long the
great cat danced while the Lady smiled on. In the
morning, the farmer would find him in the field. He
had danced till exhaustion overcame him; and then he
had laid down to rest. And, while he slept; the Lady
Luna stole his heart away. The whole family would
tell me later how very strange the whole event was.
The strangest thing of all, was the smile on the
ghost cats face!
