Inland Northwest Barn Cat Hall of Fame nomination
Here's an email from Linda Karr.
"Butch left us last spring after a 17-year-long run of our small farm in Newport. He was a special cat as he chose us when he was about a year old. After residing in our garage for a couple of days in mid-winter and painfully thin, he refused our efforts to find him his original home. We took him -- a bone-thin bad fur cat -- to the vet to be relieved of ear mites, fleas and testicles. Butch was a man's cat, and I have the scars to prove it, but he did mellow over the years and I was 'allowed' to pet him. Butch did chores with my husband Robert every day -- going to the alpaca barn, to the chicken house, to the mail box. In the afternoons he went down the road to supervise the neighbors' activities. He never missed a day until the day he crossed the rainbow bridge."
