Meet sweet, shy Kiara

;) Awee such a sweetie pie.. Kiara you are Adorable.. However I think you could get used to that camera real fast.. So cute of you in your house..

She is such a beautiful girl. I am glad that she's found her furever home with Suzy (I hope hubby and kiddies get their way and keep Kiara). Hugs to both you and Suzy for getting Kiara out of her nightmare. Only sweet dreams now Miss Kiara, you're safe.

Oh, beautiful, blessed Kiara! It is so wonderful when, in the midst of all the evil and tragedy we see and learn of, a happy ending comes about.

That's so nice that she's already coming out to see you and give you headbumpies! Maybe being held just makes her feel too vulnerable at this point to allow it now. (Then again, as you said, some cats just don't like to be held.) And gee, she gets scared at the neighbor dog's barking?.. Big surprise. I bet if you give her lots of petting and treats and happy talk and other positive reinforcement when you see her get scared at hearing the dog, she'll start to re-pattern her immediate reaction. Wait and see...

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, Mary and Suzy (and husband and daughter). And welcome home, lovely Miss Kiara!

Pat, with LES

Hey Kiara, you really DO have eyes in there under all that fluffy stuff! He he, you are a VERY lucky girl, and it sounds like you KNOW it.
