Kiki was a January 2009 gift. And, what a gift she is! I estimate her birth in October 2008. Kiki was found by a friend (who is a big time Patsy Cline fan) in his garage in the cold Central Illinois winter shortly before Christmas. He brought her in out of the cold, and undoubtedly saved her life! She ran wild in their attic for a month before he was able to catch her again. I have 2 older boys and wasn't too anxious to get another cat, especially a kitten.

But, I sure am glad that I did! She is such a delight. She fetched a balled up piece of paper from the get go. She still acts a little wild, but she is growing up to be a real sweetie!
