Thanks for all the kind words and welcome! I will be posting more of her soon. She is so worth all the patience it took--now, you'd never know it was the same scared kitty--she's practically a social butterfly (of course, the first thing she does when there's someone new around is smell their feet.....mmmm.) I have a feeling if I hadn't come along, she'd have been put down eventually. But that didn't happen--there's no way I would have let it. She's the best, and I can't imagine my life without her.

My friend who spilled the beans--Uabassoon (aka Laura.) Yeah, find that picture of her in the sombrero!!! She looks so pissed off...wonder why? Isn't there one with a cowboy hat also?

You all have very gorgeous cats too! Can't wait to poke around more and see them all!
