I have a red NFC that I call "Chubb Chubb". I even came up with a chicken dish called "Chubb Chubb Chicken in his honor.

NORM HACKING REMEMBERED

I knew Norm Hacking (deceased) and he owned that Orange cat of which he sang.

He had an unusual affinity for cats

It was a pleasant yet sad experience hearing him sing one of his many, many

colourful tunes.Norm was a prolific song writer and extraordinary entertainer.

RIP

[ironkittenz]

I'm sorry to hear about Norm's passing. It's a fantastic song and his obvious love for his cat is very touching. I hope they are together again now.

Hehe I know. What is it with cats and sinks?!

[FergusonTO35]

Yeah, I lost my own orange kitty in 1998 after spending 15 years of my life with him. I am adopting a Ragdoll kitten in a few weeks and am looking forward to finally being a kitty daddy again. Thanks for sharing that with us, God bless you.

Norm was an addicted romantic and had a special interest in cats who I suppose because of their nonjudgemental nature offered him unrelenting love and affection.

(Norm Hacking has an information bio on Wkipedia)

Obviously, you had a strong connection to your own cat 'Zimba' and wanted to do something special to honour his devotion. It''s a wonderful effort and Norm's tune was an appropriate backdrop

(to be cont'd)

[fruglescot]

(Cont'd)

.Norm authored a book called "When Cats Go Wrong" and contains a CD with him singing other cat themed tunes. If you get me an address I will be pleased to send it to you.

We're not sure where Norm went ,up or down, but wherever ,it really doesn't matter as he has friends in both places.
