Lady Compost, you are an ebony beauty! My black kitties - Janie, Jack, Buddy, and Murphy - are in awe of your luxurious black fur. You were a determined and brave girl to take your mom up on her invitation to find your new home. I imagine you have not known hunger or loneliness since that wonderful day. Lady Compost, you have the most unusual name I've heard for a kitty; gardeners often refer to compost as "black gold" and you, my dear, are a real treasure.
