Arrival Story: My husband and I were dropping off our camping trailer for repairs at an RV repair shop when we heard meowing coming from behind the counter. The shop owner explained to us that their alarm had been going off in the middle of the night every night for two weeks, but when they went down to the shop, they would find no one there. Then they noticed wet paw prints on the toilet seat and set a humane trap, not knowing what kind of small animal had gotten locked up in their shop. The culprit turned out to be a small black and white kitty that had been without food for two weeks, and apparently was surviving by drinking water out of the toilet bowl. I asked what they were going to do with her, and they said they planned to turn her loose on their father's property to be a barn cat. Then they asked if we would like to give her a home instead, and my husband said "Yes". So she came to live with us.
My husband gave her the name "Flaca" which means "skinny" in Spanish because she was so thin. She is no longer skinny, but the name has stuck.

The Last Forum I Posted In: The Foreign Legion
I've been tagged by my furiend Mathis der Meowler (Catster #526501). I need to tell seven pawesome facts about myself, and then tag seven furiends. Here are 7 things about me:
1. Daddy named me "Flaca" which means "skinny" in Spanish, because I was really, really thin when my pawrents adopted me. I got to keep my name even after I was no longer skinny.
2. My brofur Curly picks on me a lot because I won't play with him. I prefer to be left alone! (except by my hoomans...I love it when I get attention from Mommy and Daddy.)
3. Mommy and Daddy try to keep me indoors, but I love to run outside. Climbing trees and tracking gophers are two of my favorite pastimes!
4. For a little girl, I have a very deep voice. Mommy tells me I have a "Siamese voice", even though I am not Siamese.
5. I have allergies. Sometimes I have sneezing fits , sometimes my eyes run, and I'm allergic to mosquitoes so I can't go outside at all during mosquito season. (Daddy thinks my immune system was compromised when I accidentally got locked inside a repair shop for two weeks without any food before I was rescued and adopted.)
6. I prefer drinking water from a dripping faucet to drinking out of a bowl. (For the two weeks I was locked in that repair shop, I had to drink water out of the toilet to survive....Yuck! So now I prefer my water to be fresh from the faucet!)
7. I find the smell of my daddy's after shave cologne intoxicating! It makes me flop over and purr like crazy....beter than catnip!
Now I need to tag seven furiends. I will tag:
