When I first saw her, my cat was a twelve-week-old kitten being pried out of her favorite napping spot in the engine of a car. Now an indoor dweller, she has grown into an exceedingly beautiful but very temperamental lady-cat.

No cat has ever loved cardboard boxes more.

She loves to sleep on my bed...

She has beds all over the house.

Helping to make a banner for an ice skating event.

Relaxing in her favorite chair.

Sacked out after a hard few minutes of play.

Sole ruler of all carpeting...

...And one-third of the couch.

Did I mention she's a contortionist?
