When we moved to our current neighborhood almost two years ago, one of the first things we noticed was that our street was over-run with cats. They all belonged to the neighbor next door but they seemed to have free reign and made themselves at home in all the neighbors yards. I never gave much thought to them other than the annoyance I felt when I discovered my yard is part litter box. A couple of months ago the neighbor who owns the cats lost her home and had to move out quickly. She was unable to find homes for her kitties and so she decided to abandon them and leave them in the neighborhood to fend for themselves. The animal lover in me refused to let them starve and couldn't bare to call the humane society. Now every evening the Kitty Club meets in our driveway for their evening meal and play time. There are five beautiful cats with very distinct looks and personalities and each of us has our favorite.

My personal favorite is Princess (named by Amanda). She is the chunkiest, fluffiest, sweetest kitty in the bunch. She just can't get enough lovin' and we can't seem to keep our hands off her.

She is such a purr-ty cat and I don't know that we will be able to leave this house without her.

I held her like a baby for half an hour the other day and she was in heaven.

I never thought I would become a "catwoman". You never know what is going to drift into your life.

CATS?????
Well, Princess is a beauty and looks so soft that even I would like to run my fingers through her hair. Remember the big black cat that adopted you on Via Bahia? When that cat attacked Amanda on top of her little head and started biting her hair I just freaked out. And you said "Oh, it's okay. They play that way all the time".
Yeah, I remember. It looked kinda scary but Amanda would laugh her head off so I knew she was ok. These kitties haven't tried anything quite like that.Princess is the most tame and she has never tried to bite or scrath us. Yet.
Princess looks so sweet! There's your baby! Uhhh, I know we haven't chatted in a while, but did you forget to tell me something? Are you moving again????
