Teddy. A tri-colour calico cat. Also known as teddy-meneddy or at one time - SATELITE TEDDY. Found crying on the streets looking for a mommy.
A year and a half ago, teddy was found by May who immediately fell in love with this 'raccon' eyed kitty. The story was, May found her on her way back from work and seeing the little kitty lost and pretty sad looking, she brought the poor thing home. Everywhere she goes, Teddy would follow, carried in a small pouch/bag.
All grown up, Teddy made a silly mistake that caused her mommy to worry. She decided to jump out the window of the 2nd floor and got herself in a bit of trouble. Raped by tom cats and probably harmed by others, we found her hiding and shivering in the dark under the stairs of the apartment. Upon hearing our voices, she came out and cried. I looked at May, I knew....at that moment how she felt. But all I could do was to just help to pick Teddy up and hug her close to my chest.
Teddy was rushed to our favourite lady vets. There we opt for teddy to go through some x-rays and a mini operation. That how she got her new name - Satelite Teddy.
Why the name, well the picture says it all. The phone connection in my apartment is usually terrible. But somehow since Teddy got her satelite collar, my connection improved and I got to chat on the phone with no interruptions. Nowadays, I no longer have to sit in a locked position or hang around the windows, I am free from worrying whether halfway through my conversations if the line will get cut off. Its so much easier now with a satelite in place.
Do not get me wrong. The collar did come off after 2 weeks. So far, the connection is still good! Until the next time if the line gets all wacked again, Teddy is free from being our satelite....
