August 2005 - June 10, 2008
Once upon a time there was a little cat named Pee Wee. His mom and dad and brothers and sister came to Helen's yard to eat.  Helen invited Pee Wee in the house and he liked it, and decided to stay.  But he had nothing to do all day but play be himself, lay around in the sun or sit around and watch TV.
 
 

  Sometimes he got to be held, but mostly he looked out the window or played by himself.
 
 
  He tried to be friends with Uncle CP, but Uncle CP got up and left.
   
 

 

He tried to help Helen around the house, but she said "go play with your toys Pee Wee".
 

  He tried to get the attention of Uncle Fella, but Uncle Fella said, "go away Pee Wee, I'm trying to take a nap ".
 
   

 

Poor Pee Wee felt so lonely...
he had nothing to do, nobody to play with.
 

Then one day..... what did he see?   "There's a little guy, just like me! 
Oh joy oh joy!"

Helen invited another cat inside.  She called him Ptek.
  Pee Wee showed Ptek how to play with his toys and sleep on his rug in front of the refrigerator.....
   
  Ptek is a good boy! 
And they  became best buddies!
  Pee Wee suddenly died on June 10, 2008.  The vet said it appeared to be from liver failure.  Ptek and Helen will miss him a lot.
  Pee Wee's mother, brothers and sister have not been in Helen's yard for sometime now, but his dad, Tutu, was trapped, neutered and release.

He has never left Helen's yard and sleeps in the houses Helen sets up for him in the back yard, heating pad and all.  Tutu is still a little skittish, but loves to have his head scratched and will venture into the house if the door is left open.  He can even be picked up, but just for a second.  We think by next winter, he will come inside and stay.  His girlfriend Zinnia comes in and sleeps in her cubby hole when the weather is not good.
