vote for 'stowaway'

Published May. 16, 2008

I submitted this photo of my new kitten to WRAL, and need YOU, the voters of GOLO, to elect her as 'Pet of the Week!"

A bit of background information about the candidate:

She was found in the back of a truck full of tractor tires, curled up inside one of the rims.  I don't know where she came from, probably out of state, and don't know how long she was there without food, water or company.  The guys & gals unloading the truck brought her to me.  It's a miracle she's alive and wasn't crushed by the tires, or the loading and unloading that went on.  Some of those tires weigh 600lbs.  She must have lived near the rubber plant, because she was solid gray when they brought her to me, and we all thought that was her natural color.  Nope, she is all white underneath, with tabby spots over her back and face.  What a cutie, huh?  Took two baths the get her MOSTLY clean.   .   

Our candidate also has super-powers.  With her Grizzly Power, she will transform herself into a big grizzly bear, standing on her tiny hind legs and waving her front paws at you to try and frighten you into submitting to her will.  Her Tarantula Power is to to climb on the back of the sofa and jump onto the hapless computer user who has their back turned to her, clinging and purring at the same time.  She also has Beckham power, which enables her to kick and manipulate any round light-weight object across the floor for 20 minute stretches, easily passing it from right to left paw, before sending it flying into the nearest corner.

She does have a criminal record though.  Interstate Flight to Avoid Purr-secution, and Petty Theft - when she stole my heart.

Go to WRAL's Pet Page and make her wecome to the Raleigh area!   Five Paws for Stowaway!

Great blog, Kat!! What a blessing that you rescued Stowaway - what a story!! Of course, I gave her five paws ....

Your little baby is adorable, and I voted even though she's up against my boy!! LOL! What a cute story!!

hey-i voted for her...what a cute lil' kitty! she will mean even more to you b/c you saved her life. i'm sure even though she will not always act like it, she will be forever grateful that you did!

OK, Finally I voted for stowaway! Whew, that was a hard task, it took me about 15 mins to figure out how to vote. Now about Stowaway, she is adorable, and I don't even like cats! I am a dog person. But, I can see how she stole your heart, had that been me I may have been converted to take her in myself. LOL.

everybody wants a kitten..no one wants a cat...

we have two rescues...one loves us..the other thinks we are uppity servants and need to be put in our place....life rolls on...

BRB....went to vote! how cute!

She's cute, but she has that look of being possessed by demons. I had a 3-week old rescue kitten with that exact same look and behavior. It was cute until it became a grown cat. Be careful...

Thanks Angela, hope I'm not breaking any rules here ;) I did notice that one oh her competitors is ria' Buddy. Hope I didn't start any fueds here! Third place, huh?

Come on guys, she went through a LOT to get here!

LOL at bones noticing the bra - gotta check on that one!

i nearly didnt vote 5 paws for the pug in the unc shirt but i figured it wasnt the dogs fault....

Hi Braintreebrat: I just checked the stats and she is currently in 3rd place. I have to say I'm impressed with your "get out the vote" campaign. It made me laugh. Smart! -Angela
