Our Tunisian cat Pewter


Our Tunisian cat Pewter, who now lives in Birmingham, Alabama with my sister Lucina. She's a sweet cat, to humans, but she was a stray for six months in Tunis, and learned to HATE other cats. She's somehow managed to work out a relationship of some sort with Lucina's cat of 18 years, Buddy. They tolerate each other! Caroline Merrill in Tunis was her first mommy, and approached me to see if we were interested in a cat. We were, so we took her. Pewter had been living in one room in their house because she kept attacking their older, staid cats, so she needed a new home. When roaming cats would come into our yard, Peweter was hysterically funny. She's a petite little thing, but she would go after huge cats, and chase them out of the yard. She seemed to swell up and then would charge the maurading cats, and chase them over the fence. I never tired of seeing her on the prowl.
