Meet Brinkley AKA: "Mr. Brinks!" - YorkieTalk.com Forums

stedmansmommy · 10-25-2007, 08:38 AM

I was just sitting here going through some old pictures of all my furkids and realised that I don't think I have ever posted pictures of Mr. Fatso, Brinks. lol. This is our cat - Steddy, Tate, Pippi, and Peaches feline brother

We have had him for about 6 years. We "rescued" him as a little bitty tiny kitten when he was only a couple weeks old, his little eyes were not even open.

A neighbor kid brought him and his brother and sister over in a cardboard box and said that their mommy was sick and couldn't take care of them. Well, at the time my husband and I already had Pippi, Peaches, and my Cocker Spaniel who has since passed away (mommy misses you sweet girl)

so we could not take all three kittens - but she BEGGED us to take at least 2, and she would try to find the other one a home (another neighbor ended up taking her). We got the two males, Brinkley, and his brother whom we named Dozer (he would always doze off to sleep in your hands while holding him) but sadly, little Dozer did not make it

We had him for a few weeks, and one morning my husband and I woke up and found him dead with Brinkley laying right beside him

It was very sad and of course I cried my eyes out. Dozer had a seizure out of the blue the previous night (very late in the night) and was falling over as he was walking into the walls. I'm not sure what caused it, but the poor baby unfortunately did not make it. I was so sad because he was my "hubby's", and Brinkley was "mine". Out of the two, we were actually worried that Brinkley would be the one that might not make it, as he was always the smallest, way smaller than Dozer ever was - but he was such a little fighter! I remember feeding them both their newborn kitten milk with a tiny little newborn baby animal bottle - they were so cute!

Anyway, that was just a little introduction to Mr. Brinks

I'm sure some of you have seen him in videos that I have posted. Stedman LOVES to attack him, but Tatum is still til this day scared to death of him. She just doesn't know what he is yet

She can't figure him out. So she keeps her distance, lol.

Sooo....here is Brinkley today! Him and his BIG belly! LOL. He is my chunk-a-lunk kitty

Thank you! Yeah, we don't feed him too often as you can tell LOLOL

KathyinCali · 10-25-2007, 10:13 AM

I love him! He is beautiful. There is something about the personality of a black/white cat

And they do tend to be healthy eaters!

My Buster is a big boy too!

BubblPopElectrc · 10-25-2007, 11:22 AM

What the heck do you feed him??

He is huge!

Gloria has that same collar (but in pink) and she can't wear it because the bell drives the bird nuts.

ETA: Post your other dogs too! I've never seen them!

Superstarkba · 10-25-2007, 11:53 AM

MyTrixie143 · 10-25-2007, 11:59 AM
