Hello Sophie

It all started with a normal trip to Petsmart. I try to hurry past the kitties up for adoption, but yesterday I peeked in. There was a beautiful long hair tuxie girl that was 6 1/2 yo. She was so sweet and loving. I stayed in there way too long. All the way home I thought about her. All night long I thought about her. I even gave her a name. Marlo. So I go back today to get her. I know, I need another cat like I need a mole with hair on my nose. BUT, she's gone!! I missed her by 45 minutes. Not meant to be. So I start scritching a pretty calico girl and one employee after another comes in and tells me her story. She's been in that cage 2 months, she's affectionate and a beauty. SOLD. Her name is Sophie, she's 1 yo and she's a leaner. She rubs and leans against my legs. She has beautiful gold eyes, but she manages to blink with the camera flash...She's in the bathroom, has a hidy hole in the linen closet. Has already claimed the tub.  I put a screen door up instead of the regular one so everyone can meet each other. Only 3 hisses so far - from Sophie at Isis twice, and once at Romeo. So here she is..... Sophie.

Moki The Wobbly Cat said...

Oh Sophie is such a beauty! I think I would have taken her home too...lol

Sorry we haven't been around much these days...I've been swamped with school work. Anyway I wanted to let you know that I finally got a chance to unpack some of the boxes from when I moved about a year and a half ago (I know, I know...) and I found some of the ceramic bowls you mailed to help Moki with his medical costs...Well, he's been doing pretty good this last year, hasn't been on the Tamilfu in about 4 months, but is now in need of physical therapy, (his walking is getting really bad) so I am finally going to put those bowls to use. I have them listed up on a Facebook auction under Moki's profile, and have referred people to your blog, being as you are the artist...

Anyway I just wanted to thank you again for all that you have done for Moki, and say that while it may have been awhile since we last had a chance to speak with one another, I haven't forgotten!
