Pinehurst Pets – Mr. Jones

Mr.Jones-Amy

Can you see what’s special about Mr. Jones?

Here is Mr. Jones’ story, as told by his people: Mr. Jones was a used cat when we got him. He was 5 months old and was living with a family and 3 adult cats at the time. The family didn’t want that many cats. They had been catching, spaying and neutering the feral cats in Columbia City, where they live, then releasing them. They were confiscating the kittens and finding homes for them.

MrJonesMr. Jones was in the last batch of kittens from the last mommy cat they caught. She had been wiley, and evaded capture for quite a while. These people had taken multiple batches of kittens from her. When Mr. Jones’ litter was born mommy actually brought them to the doorstep of this family. She must have known they would take the babies anyway.

A friend of ours knew that we had lost our older cats to cancer and we wanted to get another. She told us about her friends who had Mr. Jones. They named him after a friend of theirs and we decided the name fit him perfectly. He is a happy, healthy 5 year old now.

Did you figure out Mr. Jones’ special feature? Look at his tail. He’s not just flicking it at the moment the photo was taken. Mr. Jones was born with his tail curled. It relaxes straight when he relaxes. It is not kinked at all. Probably the muscles are stronger on one side of the tail than the other. 

If you’d like your pet featured, please send a photo and its name and a short description or story to nancy@pinehurstseattle.org.
