Bindi, your story sure warmed my heart this morning. There would have been few people on earth like those shelter volunteers who thought you deserved a happy life and even fewer like your mom to put up with such a low chance. And then the miracle happened - you became as healthy as was possible, even gaining back your vision and hearing. And now you are even at the border of being a senior kittizen- not as if you would look it, you look young and pretty and kittenish.
I love your knitting pattern but I am afraid I cannot purchase it- my basic knitting knowledge would be totally jeopardized by an English recipe.
Enjoy the sun today, Bindi girl and let ten put up another celebration for you, sweet baby.
