She's a beauty - those eyes! For the first 60 or so years of my life, I never cared for cats; I was a dog guy. The my 23 year-old daughter moved in with us, and she had TWO cats, solid black, a mama cat and her daughter kitten. A friend of my daughter's "adopted" the kitten, and we still have Mama. As I began to understand cats a little better, I fell in love, as Mama is sweet and playful and loving, and almost immediately became an important part of our famiy. Fit right in with our dog and our old cockatiel. Now I can't imagine life without her, and I think I'll always have a cat.
