She's around 6 years old.. We were out at some local shelters looking for another cat. My fiance kept saying while driving to another shelter that he really wanted an all black cat. About a minute down the road from the next shelter we were going to he stopped the car suddenly and asked "Did you see that?" I had NO idea what he was talking about until I saw this little all black kitty in the bushes on the side of the road. He told me to get out and catch it since I have a magical way with cats, sure enough I opened the door and she ran right up to me. We took her up to the shelter and they took one look at her and said that some guy was just in there not too long ago and said he "found her" but they were too full to take her and gave him the name and address of another shelter who would but he appearantly just dumped her right down the road. How horrible! They ended up giving her all of her shots plus a giant goody bag for free because we wanted her!
She has THE biggest eye's and the brightest yellow color on ANY cat that I've ever seen. Everyone comments on it, and it has even earned her the nickname googly-eyed-cat by some because they are so huge and even kind of stick out a little!
She is our big fur baby and we love her to pieces!
I am entering this into the Iheartfaces contest:
Haaaa! Love the look on the kitty's face :-)
ReplyDeleteAaaww! Black cats are my favorite! I have 2 black kitties.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful story of the cat. I am so glad you rescued her. We have two cats ourself. I just wanted to pop back by after reading your latest comments and thank you. I also was drawn to the Willow tree because of the "no faces". She creates her figurines to capture "a feeling or a moment" and the no faces enable you to put yourself in that moment. Isn't that just so neat! Thanks for adding me to follow, I am going to add you to follow too.
ReplyDeletePretty Kitty!
ReplyDeleteOo I heart her face too! hehe gorgeous.
