Misha







This is Misha. She is 18 years old. Daddy got her when I was a junior in high school. He named her Mishamakwa, which means "little bear" in one of the Indian languages, after a trail that he and the Boy Scouts hiked. Misha lives on my mom and dad's farm. She is still very spry and catches all sorts of critters. She is one quarter bobcat; her granddaddy was a real bobcat, so she is not a manx, but bobcat. When I was a kid, we had a cat named Pete. He lived to be 19. I am hoping she lives much longer!!
