Pet of The Week
MRS. BEVERLY STODGHILL WITH KIBBY, THE CAT, AND WILLIE.
Kibby is the much traveled
Sealpoint Siamese pet of
Mrs. W. F. (Beverly)
Stodghill of 919 Nelson Street,
Jackson, who has officially
this week displaced Henry as
the most traveled pet in Butts
County.
For several weeks Henry,
the Maltese colored feline of
Mrs. Charles (Tommy) Hug
gins of Flovilla who came to
Butts County by way of
Nashua, New Hampshire,
ruled supreme as the pet who
came the farthest distance,
but Kibby came even farther,
from distant Minot, North
Dakota.
Several months ago the
attractive Mrs. Stodghill and
her husband, Billy, were
stationed at Minot Air Force
Base. One day while reading
notices on the post bulletin
board, Billy saw an ad for a
free cat. It seems that Kibby
had taken up with a woman
who had dogs who threatened

her life constantly. The good
Samaritan decided the cat
had to go, hence the notice.
Billy went by to claim the cat
and it was love at first sight
for Kibby and Beverly.
Mrs. Stodghill said they
obtained Kibby when she was
five or six months old and
that the pure bred Sealpoint
is slighUy over one year old.
Tragedy, in the form of
neighbor dogs, almost took
Kibby’s life soon after the
Stodghills arrived back in
Jackson and took up resi
dence at their present abode
on Nelson Street. Dogs
worked Kibby over good,
breaking her back near her
upper shoulder, puncturing a
lung and generally “chewing
her up” pretty good. She was
taken to the office of Jackson
veterinarian, Dr. William
Mitchell, ostensibly for the
purpose of being put to sleep
but the compassionate vet
erinarian, realizing that
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARCUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Kibby by no means had
exhausted all her nine lives,
prevailed upon the family to
allow him to wait until
morning and by then Kibby
was improved and her life
spared and saved.
Mrs. Stodghill said that
Kibby came by her name as
it was the first monicker she
responded to after having
had several temporary
names. Having been born on
the stark and barren plains of
North Dakota, Mrs. Stodghill
said that Kibby had never
seen trees, grass and birds.
“About the only thing the
poor cat had ever seen was
snow and I can testify she
saw plenty of that,” Mrs.
Stodghill reminisced. Her
attractive owner recalls that
she and Billy brought Kibby
all the way from North
Dakota in their car with her
litter box in the back and not
one time in the long trip did
Kibby betray her trust.
The beautiful Siamese has
a room of her own with all the
sanitary facilities needed
and play things dear to a
cat’s heart. To illustrate her
point of never having seen
trees, Mrs. Stodghill vows
that Kibby can’t climb. She
once took a running jump at a
tree and managed to only get
about a foot or so off the
ground and then did not know
what to do.
Mrs. Stodghill says unfor
tunately Dr. Mitchell taught
her a love for gourmet foods
so that now her tastes run to
the most expensive canned
foods with a particularly
fondness for chicken and
tuna. Mrs. Stodghill revealed
that Kibby “hates milk” and
drinks most of her water out
of the bathtub and from the
sink.
Kibby is an extremely
affectionate cat and would
like to be petted and
showered with attention 24
hours a day if anyone had the
time. Her owner revealed
that Kibby is extremely
jealous of the Stodghill’s dog,
Willie, a peekapoo, about six
years old. Mrs. Stodghill said
that Willie was born at Stark,
belonging to the H. G. Loyd
family from whom he was
obtained. In fact, Mrs.
Stodghill relates that Willie
had a bad experience in
North Dakota. His owners
had taken the dog to Minot,
not realizing that most
apartments, motels and
homes did not allow dogs but
would allow cats. Poor Willie
stayed about one week with
the Stodghills at a motel and
then had to be crated up and
flown back to Georgia where
he was cared for by Mrs.
Stodghill’s parents, Mrs.
John Moore, and Mr. Moore.

A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN—It was a foregone conclusion that the beautiful vegetable
garden of Albert W. Hencely on Biles Road would be chosen as one of Butts County’s “Beauty
Spots.” Mr. Hencely spent 35 years as a machinist for Southern Railroad and lived in Atlanta
until about four years ago when they moved to Butts County. Mr. Hencely is the son of Mr.
Bert Hencely. Mr. Hencely retired two or three years before coming to Butts County because
working conditions affected his health. When his wife retired, they moved to Butts County.
The garden was chosen by the Beautification Committee Through Conservation. The
Progress-Argus is glad to correct the misinformation in last week’s caption that Mr. Hencely
lived in Michigan for a long number of years. - Photo by Jerry McLaurin.
