this is Snowball. back in 2008 my friends opened up a Skate Shop next to a bar and i would always see her hanging around. for years i tried to pet her being the whisperer that i am. she denied me every time. i would see other people try to pet her so i came up with the "Pet Bounty". "I'll give you 40 bucks if you can pet that cat!" she denied all of them every time.
years later after the bar owner and i had been feeding her he produced a video clip of her stroking her back one time before she scuttled off. i told him petting is more than one stroke and would give him 20 bucks for the one. he took it. now she lets almost anyone pet her, even complete strangers. she even got in someone she had just met's lap!
fast forward to now and i am her #1 but she has lots of people on her favorites list. i can snap my fingers and she will come to me. i can lead her to others so they can pet her. she even talks and makes biscuits. she truly is living her best life and i love her so much. she must be in her late teens. this lady in the neighborhood has been paying to take her to the vet and she gets pain shots for her hip. The guy who named her Snowball recently passed away. he would feed and get all of the neighborhood kittys fixed. he would come down the street on his little scooter and cats would come out of the woodwork running to him. the pied piper king of cats. rest in peace Jim!
i gave Snowball a theme song and play it for her on the jukebox all the time
