Miette

On June 30, 2009, I was at an adoption center for the local Humane Society where I had decided to take photos of their cats. On delivering the disk, a young woman was there who had brought in this very small, (though no longer blue-eyed) kitten she found under a car at a shopping center. The adoption facility does not do intake, and just like that, I said I'd take her. I couldn't stand that she'd end up going to Animal Control and through a long system before getting a home. Besides, I was considering adopting a second female cat anyway. I gave her several baths and a name I'd kept in mind since finding it at a baby-names site years ago. Miette grew up to be sweet, playful, funny, and very lovable. She's the only cat I've ever had who sometimes plays fetch, bringing me her toy so I can throw it for her to chase and bring back again and again.
