Myste Mouse, Princess of Prettiness
4 August, 1988 - 29 July, 2006

I met Myste on the first Saturday in September when I was visiting my sister in Kentucky. Her furmom, Ms T, had just brought the family of kittens ‘home’ from wherever she had birthed them. Myste was the size and color of a mouse, hence the ‘mouse’ part. Her ‘kitten’ name was, Missy Mouse. I didn’t take Myste home to Oklahoma until late October. She had to be at least 8 weeks old to be on an airplane!

She and Twist got along famously right from the first. Her ‘real’ name came from a book I read, and Myste ‘told’ me she wanted the name of one of the characters, ‘Princess Myste’. And so she was. Myste had the Princess part down pat from then on!

This is one of my favorite pics
Myste would keep me company as I was reading
Myste took life in stride very nicely and calmly. As befitting a Princess!

For a while, she made the linen cupboard her hidey-hole, the 3rd shelf up, about 3 feet up Like all girls, she changed her mind on occasion and would find new places to rest!
One time, I noticed her jump into the cupboard and she MISSED!
Then I noticed her tail was dragging! Turned out, she either broke it or dislocated a tail vertebrae! Little by little, her tail began to rise again as it healed!
Sure wish I had taken a picture of her then!
