The New Kitty
After looking at almost a hundred kittens, alley cats, show cats, pedigree
cats, I just happened to meet this cute little Seal Point Siamese cat at
the San Francisco Animal Care & Control (people used to call it
"the pound").

| Once she acclimated to her new home, she developed quite a personality. She likes to be in high places, and she'll play with just about anything. Very well behaved and very curious about anything that moves or opens. Always uses her box. Goes to bed with me at night, curls up either on top or under the covers, and sleeps most of the night. Very loud and very talkative at times. |
Getting Healthy and Gaining Weight
When she first came home, I discovered she had fleas, worms, and possible
ear mites. We have a wonderful Vet in Los Altos who took special interest
in her. After a complete physical and some blood work, the treatment
began. She now has no fleas, no worms, and (oops!) no reproductive
equipment. She's gaining weight, seems happy and has come a long way.

| She has 26 toes instead of the usual 18. This is considered a good omen and very lucky by some people. With that many toe pads, I thought "Paddi" would be a good name for her. |

| Checking things out from the top of her platform. She tried to get on top of the curtain rods, so I built her a ramp and platform that go all the way across. She really loves to play up there, and I frequently find her curled up asleep on the platform side. |

Quiet Type |
| Charlie is very quiet. He investigates every drawer and cabinet he can get open. He's heavier than he thinks he is, so when he jumps he usually barely makes it. Independent but affectionate, he usually sleeps on my bed. Instead of meowing like most cats, he hummmms, and doesn't usually have much to say even then. |
I think they give us more than we give them in friendship and love.
