For this Feline Friday, you might enjoy this bit of history.

The year was 1999.

We had bought our house and moved to Kaaawa almost 10 years previously. And that put us in the position of rescuing and adopting country cats. Cats that had been abandoned. Wandering cats. Cats that were dumped onto busy streets. All our cats were rescues, except for Buster, the cream point Siamese, who decided our dog-free house was preferable to that of his own family two houses up the street.

In any case, here are some rescued video segments I discovered several years ago. Here’s what I wrote about them at the time.

I recently found these old video segments on a dvd used to archive an old hard drive, and put them together today on the flight back from Des Moines.

The video appears to date from 1999. I’m not sure which of my early digital cameras produced this video. That was really on the front end of the digital age in photography.

Maybe additional research will help me figure out their origin.

Anyway, these brief clips show Kili and Wally as young cats, not much more than a year old, along with Buster, Miki (our senior calico) and Lindsey. Oh, plus the final segment of Ms. Hiwahiwa’s eyes.

These were lost for so long that they seem like new videos.

And don’t be fooled by the blank blue screen that appears sometime early in the second half of the video–it’s not over untl “the end” appears.

That’s all you need to know.
