November 20. 1975 OO in I F mily is One walks across a landscaped lawn where rhododendron cuttings run riot in raised beds and where rhodies of every size and description flourish in the extensive areas of the premises. As one steps upon the porch a greeting may be extended by a Manx cat whose basic fluffy white coat is beautifully blotched with two shades of gold. His name is Butchie, and he is a "stubby" with a mere tuft of a taft. Gertrude Beese will open the door and invite you into her home where you may catch a glimpse of Dink-Dink, an aloof black-and-white shor t-haired tailless Manx known as a "rumpie." On divans and chairs will be seen an assortment of felines. Snoopie is a pure white three-quarter Siamese; Put-Put is a black-and-white shorthair; Britches is black and white and long-haired; Kit-Kit is a long-haired gold-and-white bicolor; Cookie is grey and white with his long coat extending into perfect pantaloons; white and long-haired Scooter can't run without sliding. Mittens is a huge tiger cat with a thumb on each forepaw. The nine cats were acquired by Mrs. Beese and her husband, Ted, under varied circumstances. Several were rescued from dreadful fates by their adult son, Teddy. They have a daughter, Terri Matson, and three grandchildren. The entire family loves cats. Mrs. Beese maintains that in reality she owns ten cats rather than nine cats and one dog. Her wire-haired terrier has lived in a cat-oriented household for so many years that she regards herself in specie. "All of them are neutered or spayed," says Gertrude Beese. "One of the males is currently faced with a paternity suit involving a neighbor's female. It's nice to be able to laugh off such serious accusations." Gertrude Beese, a native of Shelton, was married at the dose of World War 11 in New Jersey, her husband's home. The newlyweds lived in that state for seven months before moving to Shelton in 1946. Two years later they acquired their present home located in a portion of the Grant Angle homestead. Mrs. Beese, who worked in various jobs before her marriage, took a 28½-year vacation before resuming her career. "I decided," she states, "to get a job, learn to drive and lose weight. I've done all three, and now hold a part-time position with Mode O'Day." She is a member of Weight Watchers, and one of her favorite pastimes is beachcombing. She and her husband collect Japanese floats and own approximately 250 of the glass globes. The Beeses maintain a mobile home at Westport, where they spend many recreational hours. Gertrude Beese works in ceramics and likes outdoor gardening. As a member of the Rhododendron Society she propagates rhododendrons, utilizing a sweat box to root cuttings. But most of all, she likes cats. "Too many people," she declares, " want them only when they are little kittens, cute and cuddly. When the pets mature people tend to neglect them. "When 1 acquire a pet," she states, "1 am willing to accept the responsibilities that go hand-in-hand with ownership." into an eight-inch by 12-inch pan or into two 9-inch round pans.
