Ella is a little brat! My mom was over for a visit, and at one point I noticed there was only one kitten in the room with us. Ten minutes later & still no sign of Ella. I was freaking out looking for her downstairs. We looked under things, in things, behind things... kitty was nowhere to be found. Miss Hanna sat demurely with her paws crossed on the chair in the livingroom and watched as I frantically searched and searched for her sister. I don't know how many times I said to Hanna, "please help me find your sister" and she ignored me. Typical!

I went upstairs on the last ditch effort thinking she might have slipped past the gate when someone went upstairs, and she saunters over to me like Princess Ella. She figured out how get past my official cardboard cat gate! I scooped her up, smothered her in kisses thrilled to have found her, and returned her to the safety of the livingroom. Five minutes later, I watched her pry back the carboard with her little paw and slip back up the stairs! NAW-TEE already! No wonder she reminds me so much of Pouncer! She not only looks like him, but acts like him too!

Mom brought her disposal camera and I took a bunch of photos - even one of Pouncer playing kitty tag with Hanna. Mom will send the photos to me when she gets them developed and I'll have them scanned soon.
