This is the true story of Clancy Jones, a special needs kitten that was born to a feral mother cat in the backyard of two very special people who dearly love cats. This was a very fortunate place to be born, because her birth mother had abandoned her out in the rain, and she was stuck under a drain pipe. It was there that she and her sister Tinkerbelle were found shortly after their birth, and adopted and taken to live inside the house.

Her adopted parents think something affected her because of that, and now she’s deaf and she won’t let anyone touch her head or ears. She seems content in her own little world, except if someone accidentally touches her when she isn’t looking, and then she almost jumps through the ceiling.

When she was little she had a lot of problems. She would spin in circles, and sometimes do it for a long time. She was very wobbly, and when she walked she would fall down, and her head would bob all the time. Sometimes it would seem as if her head would turn almost all the way around. Her Mommy & Daddy almost had her put to sleep because they thought she was suffering.

Her Mommy and Daddy couldn’t afford to have lots of tests run on her, so they just did the normal things, had her ears
