those who have gone on before us, Who have touched our lives and left paw prints on our soul. |
 "Alexis Lee" was our very first Norwegian Forest Cat. Named after the infamous "Alexis Lee" on Falcon Crest, she lived up to her namesake with Attitude, High Expectations and even more Attitude! When she twitched her tail and purred...watch out...she was about to strike out at whomever was closest, and proved, many times over, that she was happiest when she was mad... She brought new meaning to the line "you know, you are beautiful when you are angry". She could be very sweet and very bad, but she was never one to mince her words and always let you know how she felt about something. Her memory rivaled that of an Elephant and if she didn't like you the first time she met you, no amount of time, treats or gifts would undo her feelings - though she would accept the treats, she would remind you that they were insufficient. Her life was a kaleidoscope of experiences and adventures. She caught chipmunks in our basement in MA, chased Maryland Blue Crabs on the deck of our boat on the Chesapeake Bay and caught moles in IL. She set the tone for our life and never once wavered from her core belief - She was beautiful and she was in charge! When she got back to IL, later in life, she made it clear to all concerned (and you had better be concerned!) that she liked it here and was going to stay, no question about it! She made all our lives a whole lot better. We miss you Alexis and think of you often!
