Who's Kilmouski?




Kilmouski is my Siberian aristo-cat. No matter how many hours I work, he sits in his chair right next to me. If for some reason it isn't there, he meows and paws me until I go and get it. His "chair" is a kitchen stool with a huge wood tray bungee corded onto it.

When I named him I made up a story about the Kilmouski Family having been the official mousers to the czars of Russia. For that he had to have a coat of arms! From that coat of arms I took the center design (the shield) and made him a sterling silver and gold tag for his collar. The 18K gold star on the tag represents the cattery I bought him from (Starberian). The Kilmouski family motto is engraved along the side of the tag in Russian/Cyrillic script. It translates... Death To All Mice. On the back of the tag I engraved all of his information plus phone number.

I never get to do anything without his strict supervision. Including using the porcelain facilities!

Happy Birthday Kilmouski!!! AKA "Killy" <---- Has never even seen a mouse.

  6. He is beautiful and what a lovely story you made up for him. Like the coat of arms too. My cat follows me also to the little room. Other than that she is quite independent. Unfortunately she has seen a mouse, and regularly brings one inside to show us, along with lizards, cockroaches from the garden too. Eeeeek!
