Hello Kitty

I thought I'd introduce Tiger the Cat. She has been with our family since March of 2000, so she's starting to get pretty old. She came to us in a unique way. We had many cats and dogs at the time, and one of our cats, Allie, had a litter of kittens in March of 2000. No, Tiger was not one of them, but instead was the only kitten born to a stray cat who roamed the neighborhood. Her mother chose the neighbor's patrol car to give birth. She was born just a few days after our kittens and our neighbor asked if we would take her and see if our cat would adopt her. Well she did and even though she has retained a solitary streak, she also was the best at using the cat box so she stayed and the others went. For years, Amberly has been graced to be her "person", but recently, she has transfered her limited amount of affection to Janna. She is very low maintenance and earns her keep by keeping the mice away.

Rock on. We just got a 1 yr old Beagle from the shelter. Her name is Penelope but we call her Nellie. She is awesome.
