…this little kitty entered our lives.

I was reading in bed when the phone rang around 10 p.m. on October 30, 2006. David said he was bringing home “a temporary house guest.” I said, “Okay,” thinking some kid he worked with needed a couch to crash on. Instead of a teenager, he brought in a box. When I opened the lid, I saw the scruffiest, dirtiest, hissiest little kitten I’d ever seen. She was only around six weeks old. Apparently, someone had abandoned her in the parking lot where David works. Who knows how long she was out there, but she sure was hungry.

That was then, this is now. She’s turned into a super-sweet chunky-dunk of a cat who sleeps under my right arm every night. She’s the best thing David ever brought home from work.

So today’s her third anniversary of living with us. Happy A-Day, Simone!
