Happy Tails
Bishop
By Will P.
He loved to be touched, petted, 
brushed and held. “He was a sunny window boy,” said owner Mary Ann. Sadly Bishop the cat was euthanized in 2002, but his memory lives on. He came to Mary Ann in 1997. Bishop’s lazy attitude towards life earned his memories for his owners like the clouds rolling by on a bright sunny day, he never failed to bring happiness in his consistent mannerisms. Before he came to Mary Ann, a long time Pet Haven foster volunteer, he was living in the wild life in the great outdoors. Otherwise known as suburbia. He lived around an elderly lady’s back yard where an estimated “50-70 other cats lived,” said Mary Ann. The most outstanding feature that stood out to Mary Ann was Bishop’s beautiful Aqua and blue- green eyes. When Bishop was taken home he immediately 
conformed to his surroundings. The first thing Mary Ann noticed about him was overall friendliness towards humans and other cats. At home Bishop was welcoming to all his live in kitty brothers and sisters. He was accepting to newcomers and made friends to almost everybody. But Uncle Sam wasn’t just everybody. He was a brown and white tabby with lots of attitude. Bishop would run away and hide from Uncle Sam whenever he came around. Over all Mary Ann has fostered about 20 cats from Bishop’s first home alone. Bishop will always be remembered as the sunny window boy he was.
