      Gabyloo      
       
          Gaby (short for Gabriel) walked into our lives early one evening in September of 1994. Becky, our Schnauzer, alerted us in a very commanding manner, with more than one woof, to some extraordinary goings-on outdoors. A cat sat on the windowsill.

I went outside on the porch. Gaby came close to me. I asked him if he was lost. He looked up at me with those great big blue eyes and answered "me-ow-ow".

What was I to do? I brought him in and fed him. I did not know the first thing about cats. I was a confirmed dog lover since I was a child. I gave him a 7 oz. can of Bumble Bee solid white albacore in water. In between bites, not only did he purr, but he kept saying "yum, yum, yum". I attempted to locate his owner over the next three days. I called the shelterand checked the bulletin board at the grocery store.

This kitty cat is so special, he is hypoallergenic. In a household of allergy-prone humans, this proved to be the deciding factor. We now had one cat!

               
       
         
      Gaby moves in!  
      Gabyloo settles in nicely, not only with the family, including our Schnauzer Becky, but also manages to blend in very well with my collection of bears! He greets people at the door, likes keyboarding, and enjoys napping in Becky's crate, even with Becky in it. Awesome!
