Caturday

This is Scampi

Picture: Scampi the cat

She was a stray kitten who started living in our yard.  We coaxed her into the house when the weather got cold two winters ago.  The CheeseWife™ named her Scampi because she usually scampered away whenever she saw us. She is still a little skittish about people but is really good friends with our cats, particularly Sam.  When she lets us pet her, she really purrs, stretches and otherwise lets us know that she likes it. Sometimes when it is really cold out she curls up on the bed behind my knees for warmth.  Shortly after she moved in with us, we took her to the vet for shots and getting “fixed.”  Actually she was prepared to function all too properly and we changed that, so I think of it as having her “broke!”
