My late Floey (Florence). Lived to be 17.5 years. Was a street cat-police found her wandering the streets-they scooped her up and she was at the shelter for 2 weeks...she was not a lap cat but rubbed against your ankles all the time and loved people. Loved car rides. Loved going places. Used to walk with me on the trails around the local lakes. No harness. She rolled into a hissing spitting ball when I tried to harness her. She used to walk with me in the woods-never ran from me. Never hid under the beds or anything when she first came to live with me. A real Dog cat. I really miss her.

Floey was monster cat. She chased dogs and cats out of our yard.

Her last catch...actually Honeybee caught itand gave it to Floey..I booted them out of the house because I wasn't going to pick up after them..she walked around with it in her mouth for a few minutes shaking it. Then I made it disappear. Floey was 17 here.

Yes she was a big girl..overweight most of her life- 14 to 16 pounds- she was 11 pounds when I first got her...got some old pics to upload..Floey was a dogcat. She road in the car like a dog, greeted people at the door like a dog-hoping you had FOOD! She ate all the cat food so no one could! LOL. She wasn't a lap cat per say but she slept next or on us in the winter-her short haircut made her cuddly=to keep warm. I used to take her down the railroad beds and flea market..she wasn't found of people at theflea market but she would sit at the end of the lane waiting for me to walk back and follow me up-then I would pick her up and we walked into the woods behind the flea market-we would spend an hour or two just meandering around.

The funny thing is when it's time to go home-I would pick her up and she would HISS at me...all the way back to the car..people were scared of her. I said no she's telling me to shove it right now. Floey hissed and growled to be let down because she wasn't ready to go home...out by the lake there are rail road beds with no ties and we walked for a good long while down there...slow going because she had to sniff everything.

Then she used to walk with me around the block in my community-it's a dead end street...she would walk behind sniffing then I would say BYE FLOEY and she would run ahead of me..we would repeat this every 10 minutes...she used to run up this tree at a church where we lived in the city-there was a yard and she would follow me across the grass and run up the tree then run down..in the suburbs of this city=we never let her roam-too busy. we were on a deadend but close to busy street but she was allowed supervised outties...I have been trying to train Honeybee to do the same but she says HECK NO. she's ok in the woods behind the house but not crazy about going far.

Floey was an unusual kitty. No one wanted her because she hissed at you when she was in the cage at the pound...once I pulled her out-she purred=-=big loud purrs-arranged her across my lap with bent leg-and she stayed there for 20 minutes purring..the staff never seen her be nice. I said she just wants out of the cage..she is fine hanging out. In the pound she was screaming like a baby. I never heard that sound before..she just wanted to get OUT of jail...it took 2 days to get her out with the dumb landlord not answering the phone but the moment she walked in my apartment in 2001 she laid across my feet and never hid. She was an amazing kitty. 17.5 years old she lived to be.

I have never heard of a kitty like her-she was unique and beautifully sassy...we named her Flo Monster because she chases other animals out of the yard except for the ground hog and skunks..cats=forget it-she will run them out.
