Yes, she's so sweet and trusting and she loves Suzy's 10 year old daughter. I'm not sure why she doesn't want to be held, perhaps the pain factor or maybe she just doesn't like it. My Pidge will sit on your lap but she doesn't like being held, so who knows. Suzy said that when she hears the neighbor's dog barking, she gets scared. (Gee, I wonder why.) But she knows she's in good hands or she wouldn't have come out to me after being handled by so many people in the last couple of days.

Most of the credit can go to Suzy. I was a horsefly, to be sure. I bit and bit and bit this woman until she couldn't swat me away any more. But Suzy is the one who went and picked up Kiara and is fostering her. I'm going to get Kiara and Suzy's other cats a fountain because she says one of her cats refuses to drink from anywhere other than her faucets. So I'll make a contribution to the furkids since Suzy has taken on so much responsibility. Her own cats are gorgeous and so sweet tempered. She has 8 of her own. I didn't realize what a rowdy bunch I have until I saw how quiet and calm hers are. Ah well, everyone's different, especially cats.

As Kiara comes along in her healing, I'll post more pix and I'll update you occasionally, too. And, if/when she's adopted, I'll be sure to let you know. But I have a hunch Suzy will keep her. Her husband wants to and so do the kids. YES!
