Three and a half years ago, a little tortoiseshell kitten showed up unexpectedly at our door. Here’s the post announcing her arrival and another one showcasing her big personality.

I’m happy to say she is still with us, still chugging along, still keeping us entertained. Like most “torties,” she is very chatty and makes her wants known… Her favorite holiday is fast approaching, so I thought I would let you all see how grown up she is now. She still has an amazingly soft coat of fur. Her eyes, once orange, are greenish now.
It’s sure hard to imagine life without this perky, mischievous family member. We’re glad she chose us.
The afternoon nap…
Ready for action!

Pets have always made thing a little bit better. I feel a little sorry for people who do not understand that.
