“Manx cats tend to be a bit neurotic. Smokie was feral when I met him. I cooked/played house mom on a 60k ranch in Wyoming for a big game hunting outfit and his Papa would hang out with me when all the hunters were out in the field. I tamed him with yummy steak, put a harness on him in prep for our trip back East. He took to it immediately, much to my surprise. He took to my Doberman the same, becoming great buddies. He learned to fetch his Christmas mouse, even putting a live one in my lap once. Obviously a good mouser. Ugh! He was such a character! He is sorely missed. I hope he found Mollie (my Dobie rip 2017) and I really hope to see both of them (and all of my critters)on the other side.”
Smokie Joe Lonesome is remembered by his family and loving companion, Kim.
