Perry of Crafts by Perry's Mom
The inspiration for the company name came from my beloved
(and incredibly spoiled) cat Perry.
In November of 1997 I decided that I wanted a pet to keep
me company. I am actually a "dog" person, but the apartment
complex I was living in at the time did not allow dogs. I
decided to check for a cat and, to keep a long story short,
ended up at the Michigan Animal Rescue League (MARL).
I went on my lunch hour and saw a cat sitting on one of
the counters in "Cat Room #1". Something about this cat
(other than he's gorgeous) seemed to draw me to him. I
looked at the other cats they had (over 40 of them at the
time -- they don't put them to sleep if they can't find a
home) but I found myself back in front of this orange tabby.
I went out and asked a little about this cat. They told
me he was male, roughly 2 years old, his name was Perry, and
he had no tail! MARL was called to rescue Perry in September
1997 because some evil, horrible person(s) had set his tail on
fire. The tail was so badly burned that they had to amputate
most of it. I hadn't even noticed as he had his feet tucked
under him and I had assumed his tail was just tucked close
to his body.
Events that happened over the following week left me with
no doubt that God had brought this wonderfully loving cat
and myself together. Perry continues to delight me with his
antics and love.

In order to keep a true
perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog
that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him. --
