Wegie Is Home


Wegie is Mama M's current cat, now three years old. She is a muted calico and white Norwegian Farm Cat. Distinctive characteristics include tufts in her ears and on the pads of her four feet and a bushy tail as long as her body. She can run with the tail straight up; reputedly the Norwegian Farm Cat is the only one who can do that.

Her cry is the softest Mama M has ever heard, and Wegie uses it only when she is excited that her breakfast in being readied and finally carried to her placemat. The only other time Mama M heard the cry was as a call for attention uttered from the bedroom doorway--only once in a year!

Wegie is a lap cat to challenge all lap cats. She loves to settle in Mama M's lap and sleep, either crossways of the lap or curled up with head on Mama M's legs. She can stay in the lap for hours. Her other sleep spots are among the blinds across the doors to the deck and on the counter in "her" bathroom, which is her bed at night.
