Mango Kenney
Mango was born August 28, 2011 in North Carolina. I met his breeder at a Cat Show at the Wi******er Sportsplex that autumn. I had lost a rescue Cornish Rex to an unexpected illness in October and decided I had to have another one. Mango arrived in Wi******er just after New Years and spent his life here. He was a good companion to my mother during the last few years of her life. Cornish Rex are very clingy cats, not aloof like most other cats I have known. Took me some time to get used to that. He was extremely athletic and had a vertical leap of 4 feet! The top of our refrigerator was a favorite perch during his younger years. He loved to hide under a cushion, blanket, or coat. The doctors and techs at Animal Medical Center loved to see him come in for his checkups. If a person wasn't handy to cuddle with, he would nuzzle up to my dog. My Springer Spaniel, Ranger, would not cuddle with a cat. When I got my Cocker Spaniel, Prince, he and Mango became good cuddle buddies and would loaf on the sofa all day. Mango was a homebody and just wanted to be near his family. He left us on August 12. I have many memories of Mango, enough to fill a book. He never won any awards or medals, but the ultimate compliment I can pay him is that he was a good cat.
