Scrappy's life on the the Triple C Ranch began when he was abandoned. He was apparently dumped out on the road that borders our land. It seemed miraculous that such a small kitten was able to find his way to our home 1/4 mile away. He was not greeted with enthusiasm by our dog, Sandy. A kitten with less ingenuity and speed might not have survived this encounter. Scrappy's story is told from his viewpoint in
Scrappy's Adventures.
Scrappy was quite content to live the life of a simple, country cat. His adventures consisted mainly of roaming in nearby pastures and hunting at his frog pond. His personality led me to "quote" him in a comment to Brisbee, a virtual community sponsored by the Star-Telegram Online Services. He also made an appearance at the Brisbee Bookmobile Story Hour, disguised as the Cat in the Hat. Eventually, our fellow Brisbuds chose him to represent the town as their official mascot. Soon after that, Gerry Barker, former Interact Director of STOS, then known as StarText, asked if Scrappy would consider hosting a forum. Of course, Scrappy accepted immediately. Cats and cat lovers began "Roaming with Scrappy" on September 26, 1996. Soon, Scrappy became the first cat on StarText to have his own email address and web site, compliments of the Star-Telegram. Scrappy's original home page, the first Scrappy's Nest, is a reflection of his fun-loving personality. It remains online as a tribute to Scrappy, whose brief life brought so much happiness to his family and friends. Scrappy was an integral part of our family and we miss him very much. We will always remember his affectionate nature and brave spirit. He charmed us with his personality and entertaining antics. He was definitely the scrappiest little cat we've ever had the pleasure to love. Pat Crowley |

2. A Candle in Memory |
![]() A Candle in Memory also contains a section of links to tributes which honor the memory of other friends we met on the WWW. Please take time to visit them. After Shibui created a similiar memorial page for her friends in CLAW's Older Cats Society, the Milliken Kittens suggested that we light a candle for The Unknown Kitty. This page pays tribute to all those kitties who've gone to the Rainbow Bridge alone. |
We enjoy visiting other kitties' holiday pages, as well as attending their special events, parties and wedwinks! We put our collection of souvenirs in a special corner of Scrappy's Nest. We hope you'll click here to see them and visit the sites they represent.
Please visit
Shibui's CLAW Page to learn more about this prestigious organization and her participation it it. After Shibui went to Rainbow Bridge, we elected Bogey to follow in her pawprints at CLAW. She was on her way to becoming an honorable kitty, when CLAW closed. Please visit Bogey's CLAW Page to read about her experiences.
Note: On October 12, 2005, a decision was made to close CLAW. CLAW Theater and some CLAW groups remain open, although they are no longer affiliated with CLAW.

Scrappy's Photo Album & Scrap Book
In addition to tributes to family members at Rainbow Bridge, we tell our own true stories in Scrappy's Photo Album & Scrap Book. We also share some of the adventures we've had on the WWW. We hope you'll enjoy browsing through the pages.
There are many activities and clubs for cats on the Internet. Participating in them is a good way to meet new friends and broaden your interests. We'll tell you more about the clubs we joined and show you our membership cards, when you visit our Club Page!
Shibui's membership in CLAW opened the doors to a world of opportunities for all of us. She played the Fairy Godmother in the CLAW Thespians' production of Cinderella and she performed in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Peter Pan, The Wizard of Oz, Robin Hood, and Aladdin and the Magic Lamp. We enjoyed attending events at CLAW and checking out the books in CLAW Library.
Please visit our Claw Theater Page to learn more about current productions and upcoming events!
We named him "Ditto" because he reminds us of Ditcher. So does Clancy!
Princess Polly went to Rainbow Bridge on August 2, 2009. Although Polly's Palace is no longer online,
you may still read the interview that Freya conducted with her in 1999.
