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

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.
We woke up this morning to a thunderstorm! I immediately thought of you and how much you loved rain and storms. While Sophie and Lucy would hide in Sophie's den (they still hide there- I found them in there this morning!), you'd run to the biggest window in the house. Sprawled out on the window seat to watch the storm with your tail twitching and your paw extended to the window.
You were so brave. Maybe because you were never out in a thunderstorm? You were safe in our home with me the first time you experienced a storm and never really had a reason to fear thunder and rain. Sophie probably spent most of the first year and a half of her life outdoors before I adopted her and Lucy may have been outside, too. Whatever the reason, you loved the rain.
Leo and Charlie don't seem to mind it although a big boom this morning sent them both running up the stairs. But they came back down to play and run around soon afterwards and didn't react to any other booms. Ahhh, kittens......
I can't tell you how much Leo reminds me of you! It's not in the way he looks although he is a fancy kitty like you : ) It's more in his personality and the things he likes to do. He loves to knead, purr, and drool on me. He likes to give me serious headbonks. He also likes to sleep in the same spots as you including the back of the couch near my head. Last week I found him in the kitchen window in one of your favorite spots. I was surprised because Lucy never sleeps there and the kittens hadn't either. But Leo found that spot and I think he liked it!
Although he is not you but his own unique kitty self, he reminds me of you in a comforting way. He reminds me of you before you got sick, when you were healthy and happy. And memories of you as healthy and happy bring comfort to me. Every once in awhile as he is lying on me, I close my eyes and remember you with a smile (no tears!).
I love you baby girl and I miss you like crazy. Take care.
