Arrival Story:
After losing my cat Bliss, I knew I wanted a cat with a similar personality, and researched breeds with that in mind. Also, my autistic niece comes over to visit, and I wanted to make sure the cat was friendly and not scared of children. I contacted breeders, and serendipitously not just one but two Tonkinese sisters seemed perfect. Penelope was said to be incredible with children, even to the point of preferring them to adults. Once I met her, though, it was her incredibly affectionate nature that got to my heart.
Bio:
She is extremely playful in a wonderfully daffy sense, and also has a deep need to explore, always seeking new horizons and places. For this reason, since she is an indoor cat, we got a pet stroller, which she loves to go for rides in. She has the most beautiful deep purr as well: absolutely heaven to hold. Fortunately she likes to be held, so I am extremely blessed by her sweet self.
She is also extremely talkative when she wants to explore. If I come with her to open doors or help her up to the high places she chatters to me while she explores, giving me a running commentary. She also gives me a lot of extra purrs when I take her into the garage, which is sort of a magic forbidden place to her, though I don't let her go loose. She's wonderful fun to be with.

My bestie--Nana--doesn't let me sleep with her as she's got allergies, but I miss her a lot during the night. But thankfully Mom is a night-owl, so sometimes she comes upstairs with Minnie to visit and play. But I *really* want to see Nana! So Mom obliges me with just giving me a peek into Nana's room to show me that she's asleep. All I really need is the peek, but recently Minnie has been complicating things.
You see when Mom gives me a peek she picks me up so I don't go rushing in. Sometimes in the past Minnie got cheeky and tried to dash in while Mom was holding me, but she would almost get her head stuck in the door, so Mom got wise to that and sticks her foot in the door so there's no way Minnie can try to squeeze in. But now Minnie jumps on Mom's back while she's bent over to pick me up, then climbs on Mom's shoulder as she stands.
So, basically if Nana were awake when Mom opened the door, she'd see three sets of eyes staring in! MOL

Thanks to all of you for all of the gifts, but especially to my Valentine Pipo, who is such a gallant gentleman. It's been a wonderful day, and we had so much fun sending our precious friends gifts. We hope your day was great!

Okay, I know this is a little late, but I got such cool stuff. I got my first gift early: Nana had brought home one night a bag from Barnes & Noble that was on her bed, and I *had* to look inside it. It was love at first sight: Nana had gotten her granddaughter a stuffed cupcake with a little pocket for a gift card, but I knew it had to be mine! I bit it and gave it a little shooka before Mom took it away from me 'cause it wasn't bought for me. :(
The next day, though, Mom got on the phone to Barnes & Noble to see if they had any more stuffed cupcakes, and they did! Nana went and bought a new one for her granddaughter, and gave me the one I already claimed! I've carried it around the house ever since, and have all sorts of tussles with it on my favorite landing half-way down the stairs from Nana's room where I stay most of the night, waiting for Nana to wake up. I love it, so Tate isn't the only one who's about cuppycakes now!
The other present is one Mom is still working on: I wrote earlier about the kumihimo bracelet that I loved to play with. Well Mom lost it, and so she's making me a much longer one that has a mousie pattern on it! I'm so excited that I've played with it and nommed it already, even though it's not off the loom yet.
This was a super Christmas!
Update: This photo was taken with Mom's iPod, so it isn't the best, but it shows me with my cupcake. The cord Mom's making is still in progress--so it isn't shown--but I'll upload a photo when it's done.
