Ellie

Elasti-cat or Ellie is what we call our long and tall girl we got from the shelter. We got Ellie when we were out at the shelter for the Christmas party for the dogs and cats in 2005. Mike is always saying “no” to any addition to our family, but he actually saw Ellie and liked her from the start. So now when she is being really ornery – I get to say that he’s the one that picked her! We spent some quiet time with her in Bill’s office at the shelter. She had a personality that seemed to be very similar to Spooky (our other black cat). Sure enough, after coming home, the two cats really hit it off. The only way for us to tell the difference between the two is to have them stand up or see their tails. Ellie is long and tall and Spooky is short and squatty. We thought that Elasti-cat was a perfect name for her since when she laid down her on her side – her front feet point in one direction and her back feet point in another. It’s crazy looking! Ellie has made herself at home and actually is now brave enough to chase one of our dogs around the house. Oh – and the picture of Ellie - if you wonder where she’s at, it’s her favorite place to hide…..the bathtub! We all love Ellie & HHHS!
