Cat Tails

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Jimmy Frost in 2004, when he helped relocate a Persian cat that ended up in my home. Most people would not find this remarkable, except for the fact that Jimmy trucks back East.  I live in the Pacific Northwest. Starlight’s new home, thanks to the Internet ad was to be in Los Osos, California.

Jimmy Frost finagled his way with the dispatcher and got a run to the West Coast. My husband went with me and we met him at a truck stop delivering our precious feline cargo to him. Starlight is now in his new home and doing wonderfully.

Where some truckers prefer Pit Bulls, German shepherds, and other “manly” creatures, to share their road life, Jimmy shares his life on the road with cats.

I had to laugh when we pulled into the truck stop and started looking for his truck. There was a beautiful tortie kitty lying on his dash, and a larger cat staring at us from the steering wheel column. Jimmy wasn’t around at the time, but we knew we had found the right truck.

Some of Jimmy's stories can be found in this section. He sends them to me from time-to-time, when he has a spare moment to write them.
