Coloration: Seal Mitted
Likes: Sitting in Mama's lap when she is on the computer, laying on people, boxes, string, feathers, birds out the window, cat nip!
Pet-Peeves: My adopted kitty sister Lucy-especially when I am sleeping peacefully! Oh, and please, PLEASE don't make me go see the vet! I also find the doorbell frightening
Favorite Toy: fuzzy pipe cleaners, Sophie's dog food, paper, feather wands, Mama
Favorite Nap Spot: I'm a cuddly lap cat! I will sleep anywhere....right now I prefer the bottom step of the staircase, the back of the couch, the window seat, and, of course, Mama's lap
Favorite Food: I will eat anything....and if no one is looking, I like to swipe the dog's food, bat it around the kitchen, and then eat it! Of course, it usually rolls out of my reach under a door or the washing machine!
Skills: Mama thinks I am a genius! I can open drawers and cabinets by standing on my hind legs, placing my front paws over the top of the cabinet or drawer, and walking backwards while pulling the cabinet/drawer open. And, oh yes, I know where my food is kept

Arrival Story: Sally was born (June 1999) to a feral mother in a neighborhood I pass through during work. Some neighborhood children introduced me to her and I cuddled with her and thought she was the most beautiful kitten in the world. I couldn't stop thinking about her when I left- she was just so sweet! When I came by the neighborhood a few days later, the mother cat had not returned for days, the other kittens in the litter had all succumbed to illness, and Sally was very sick. I'd never had a cat before but I just knew she was mine and I was hers. I took her straight to the emergency vet's office- she weighed exactly one pound and was just the tiniest ball of fluff. She had a severe upper respiratory infection, a severe eye infection, fleas, and ear mites. The emergency vet was amazing and took such good care of her. They gave me medications, a kitten "starter kit" with a litter box, litter, and some other basics, and I took her home. She was the first kitty in my life. When I brought her home and introduced her to Sophie the dog, she immediately tried to nurse off of Sophie. They've been buddies ever since. I love her.
Bio: My beautiful Sally died on May 9th, 2008. It was unexpected and tragic. It turned out that she had (previously undiagnosed) severe heart disease and had gone into heart failure. She was very, very sick. The cardiologist also found a large clot in her heart and there was no way to cure it. They made her as comfortable as possible and gave me time with her. It was the saddest day of my life and my heart was broken. I am so thankful that I was able to be with her and tell her how much I love her. She was a beautiful, sweet, smart cat and she will be forever loved and deeply, deeply missed. I love you Sally cat. She will be forever missed and forever loved. Rest in peace.
My tail of devotion for sweet Sally

18 months have gone by since you passed on to the bridge. 18 months. In some ways that doesn't seem like a long time but in the ways that really matter (holding you, being with you), it's a life time. I think about you every day. Some days I still cry. It's hard for me to look at your Catster page and photos of you. Beautiful kitty, I miss you so much.
Lucy has been trying to teach some of your tricks to the kittens. She's almost passed on the knowledge of how to open the kitchen cabinets to Charlie. She's also trying to teach him how to open the laundry room and closet doors. You were such a smart kitty but I really wish you had kept those door and cabinet-opening skills to yourself!
It's finally getting cooler here. The windows have been open and Lucy and the kittens are loving the big window seat. There are now three kitty beds up there instead of just two. When I see the kittens in the window seat, I always think of you. I remember when Lucy was a kitten; she always wanted to sleep in the cat bed with you. I know that you would have preferred Lucy to find her own kitty bed but you were really tolerant of her. I'm not sure that you would have had quite the same level of tolerance for the boys. Leo and especially Charlie are crazy!
Anyways, I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you (always) and missing you. I love you.
I am guardian angel to a very special kitty, sweet *Chloe*. She is a loving cat, a true diva, and a momma's girl. She is the queen of the pork-chop, smacking her brother effectively and at will. She is beautiful and is an amazing kitty.
And today, she needs your purrs. Chloe has been living with severe HCM for a couple of years. Today, after extensive vet tests yesterday, it was determined that she is in complete renal failure. *tears* Her loving and devoted mother is devastated. They are keeping Chloe comfortable; there is more information in her diary.
