Congratulation on " Hunter's” Centenarian.

She came to my world at age 3 and we got along well.

She is a motel cat. Grey hair with white stripe all round. When she was 1^st introduced by Huber, He said to me ”I kept this cat for about 3 years in this motel. She hunted very well. Just do not feed her too much and she will keep hunting fine.”

That was September 1990.

She has spent almost entire life with me. The time she has been with me almost surpassed the time I spend with my family

When she greeted me with trophy of a gopher and tease it around, I decided to name her “Hunter".

Here after, almost every day she was patrolling in this mountain motel. You would not be surprised what her capabilities have havened. Just name few:  Lizard, snake, wild rabbit salamander and some time even blue jade becomes her daily trophy. No, I hate to say it’s her trophy. Actually all small animals, you name it, is her daily delicacy. Among them, gopher is her favorite.

My wife and I feed her with dry and canned cat food. She had one bite than she left.We cannot do too much to change her diet habit. After all she consider her self “queen of the Muir.”

She greets any guests coming to this motel. Some time when there is cat lover she even do not mind spending night with guest. 

One day,she disappeared from motel. I had checked almost everywhere and could not find Hunter. I decided to open all the rooms to make sure she was not hiding one of them.

There she was. Sitting her self on the queen bed in front of headboard: ”Muii…” at me.

Like she was protesting “ You locked me in the room, and you forget I am the queen of this motel!”

Mari was so excited holding her like long lost baby!

“Baby! I dont think so.”

Actually she acted like she owns the motel.

In 1993, we brought in another kiddy named “ET”.

Though he was twice the body size of Hunter, she showed no kindness to ET when she confronted with him.

“Waouu….” Is her typical hostile expression toward ET.

“Hey, look, this is my territory. Don't mess around with me. I am the boss here. Hit road, ET, You filthy animal!”

ET, after her groan would leave quietly.

Yes, this is her world.

Although she is small she thinks that she owns the world. She has the power provided the circumstance permitted; she will abuse the power to the maximum. Just look at the way she treated ET, Her own kind of people.

Well, that is the world of Hunter. An animal world!

On your centenarian day I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your accomplishment of hunting the small animal. I saw you have been crippled latterly. Are you in pain with authorities? I wish you would self heal or we cannot help for your aging process.

Hope you will live for another two years, though crippled no one would bother you. You live in your small animal world and enjoy your power!

Michael

P.S. Cat's life 16 years is equal  to Human’ 80 years old
       Therefore,Hunter's 19 years birthday is centenarian.
