    I’ve been visiting Bourgeoise for a month again, her family took a vacation. She’s a sweet girl, one year old and easy to look after. This time, I brought Fister’s PetMate, a piece of sisal carpet she used for scrathing, and a tunnel. What she loves the most, though, is to play with a string (two shoe laces tied together), small mice thrown in the air and to drink from the tap. She did eventually drink from the PetMate, but at first, she was a little hesitant, because of the slight noise it makes. She will let me brush and hold her, too.

    Personally, I think they should get a sister to play with, since she’s bored being alone and the family are away several times a year. Perhaps next time they’re away for long, I’ll suggest I take her home.

    Here are some pictures of her:

    She sure is gorgeous. I bet she does get very lonely being by herself for that long. Maybe the family will decide to get another cat.

    What a gorgeous girl! And I like Beaujolais better than her actual name, too!

    Ha Karen, that's actually what I've been calling her, since I'm not sure I can pronounce her name right (the family is French).

    I'm doing what I can to convince her family to get a sister/brother for her. I spend about three hours with her every day. Will be cat-sitting again in October.

    What a beautiful girl!!! Please give dear Beaujolais some pets and skritchies from me.

    I bet she's lonely, being alone so much when her people go away so often. What a good idea, for you to take her home, Randi!

    Oh my what a beautiful kitty. Bourgeoise, you are most fortunate for such a caring cat sitter.
