The Kitty
Mashed Potato is believed to be a Himalayan/Siamese mix. A SPCA, severely flea-infested, drop-off (she couldn't even open her eyes because of the fleas)--Mash has been with me since 8/23/03. I met Mash while volunteering at the SPCA with one of my clients and couldn't get her out of my head. I drove back the next day and adopted her.
Mash's name was inspired by the discovery of Tom Robbins' books, which were the focus of that summer. Having devoured all of his books (and nothing else) in a relatively short time--one apparently also begins to think like him...
Anyhoo, Mash is a very vocal cat (takes after the Siamese side, in that aspect) and she feels that living with the weasels is the lowest of lows and that no cat should ever be subjected to such torment. She's a lousy bug-hunter and acts more like a dog than a cat. She faithfully waits by the door while I am gone; she follows me from room-to-room when I am home; and she comes when you whistle--Mash is just one cool cat.
You can check out her blog at Mad Mash Beyond the Litterbox.
