Marble

Marble was found on by my friend Mike. He had been tied in a plastic bag and thrown from a moving car. He was 7 weeks old. Mike heard these awful cries, he said it sounded like a mountain lion, so he went to investigate. There was Marble, in the bag, just howling his little heart out!

Mike came in my door with little Marble sitting on his shoulder. He then proceeded to jump directly onto my shoulder so what could I do? Had to keep him! Marble contracted a herpes virus, we don't know where, but it manifested in his right eye at around 2 years of age. We treated the virus for several years, but herpes is incurable and his site was compromised in that eye. It came to the point where we were afraid it might spread to his left eye as well, so we made the decision to remove his left eye in 1999.

Marble is another fighter! You just gotta love 'em! He's doing very well and seems not to notice that anything is different. Marble is my welcoming committee. He takes it upon himself to personally greet and bring into the fold each new addition to our household. I think he tells them his story and what a great place this is to live and how spoiled they will be and how much love they will have. At least I hope that's what he tells them! I do love my Marble cat.
