I will digress just a bit, but back in the 70’s at a horseshow, someone had kitties to give away. We ended up taking one with us. He was gray with white paw tips, white patch on the chest and jet black nose.

It was the summer that the Movie _Jaws_ came out. Hadn’t come up with a name for him at the time. But, he was in the kitchnen by Mom’s chair, and Mom didn’t know he was there. She scooched the chair back a bit and re-sat. Unfortunately, one of the chair legs was partly on his tail.

Claws, teeth and howling all over the place— but especially Mom’s legs.

He earned his name that day: Jaws.

He grew up to be a very big cat — 25 lbs, but still lean and lanky. Just very dense (physically, not mentally).

Jaws went on to become the “grand-paw” of Jamie Two Feathers, who is shown on my profile page.
