THE ILLUSIVE MR STUBBS!!

My name is Mr Stubbs..

     ...........  I belong to no-one!!!

  I seek out the hidden places...   I wait for no-one....     I keep moving......           and know my surroundings....     I locate the exits...   each and everyone...

  I like to hide.....   in secret places.....
 He that dwelleth in the secret       place of the most High shall abide       under the shadow of the Almighty                                                      Psalm 91:1    I belong to myself !                                                                                                                                                You are my hiding place and my shield;                                                                                                                                       I hope in Your word. Psalm 119:114

I come when I please...

I'll let you pet me.....

                  if I'm in the mood.....

I'll let you feed me too....

In the book "Mr Stubbs" written by T.L. McCready

and illustrated by Tasha Tudor, (1956)

 their Mr Stubbs has battle scars on his ears.

Our Mr Stubbs has some too!

Mr Stubbs in the book gets himself

built into a woodshed that carpenters

were coverting into a room!

Our Mr Stubbs managed to get himself

 locked in our shed for a few hours!

After the passing  of our Beloved Cat

"Sir Markus Kitty", at the ripe old age

of twenty three,

 

Truly he was "The  BEST CAT EVER"!

"SIR MARKUS"

 we decided, after 5 months, it was

time to adopt a new kitty. So we took a ride

to meet some Kitties at the

Shelter and give an older Cat a second chance.

We were compelled by a bonded pair,

and even though we had decided that

choosing another black and white Kitty

 would be painful (and were only planning on one) ,

we went ahead and adopted

the two, a gray tiger and a black and white.

They just looked so scared and abandoned.

 We were assured that they were

"mostly indoor" cats that stayed close to home.

(My fear was of a "door dasher" for we have Coyotes

around that we need to beware of)!

  Well home we came with the new members

of the family and ...

soon we were ready to allow them to check

their new surroundings. Simon (who is black and white)

went immediately under a bed... but Mr Gray tiger whom

we discovered had a stub tail, and quickly dubbed

"Mr Stubbs" (from T.L. McCready and Tasha Tudor fame) 

disappeared so quick as a flash!! He was not to be found

until the next day in a cupboard under the sink

with the door closed!! (he opened and closed it himself)

Well no sooner was he found then gone he was again.

The next morning he made his "DOOR DASH" escape

before Husband even knew what flashed before him!!

There was Mr Stubbs flying across the land..

far beyond the Pine trees......

After searching and calling, leaving food and water at the door,

on  the third day guess what was left in front of the door stoop?

You may have guessed "a  dead MOUSE"!!!

and you would be right!!!

Well, as time would have it he decided he would stay

and everybody now loves the cuddlely Mr Stubbs!!

..~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~..

Hubby-Bear knew he came second  to our dear
 Marky Kitty

.... so he bought this plaque!!

(Markus a month before he passed)

Markus looked young and

 BEAUTIFUL even in his twenties
we miss him sorely

IN FOND MEMORY

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.                                      3 John 1:2
