It's time to meet the rest of the family - Tuesday's had plenty of blog time to date. Introducing Cleopatra - Cleo for short. This is my first furry pet not including a hamster and mice from kidhood. I adopted her from a shelter - rather she adopted me. I was just entering grad school at the time and I had my sister's old very light colored furniture so naturally I was looking for a light colored cat. Well, I walked into the trailer (small town) and there were cats everywhere. My eye immediately went to a small black beauty draped over a small tower with her tongue sticking out. Too bad I was looking for a light colored cat. I met several wonderful kitties and as I walked around to see them that little black munchkin of a cat followed me around. She also beat any other cat who tried to get too affectionate with me. You can see she's the one who came home with me. She was 4 years old at the time - she's been to an eye and a respiratory specialist and has cost me a bundle - she's about 16ish now 6 pounds and going strong. As I type this she's leaning over the desk swatting our pit bull in the face. She is very sweet and loves children. She's very demanding of attention but at least she doesn't jump on guest's laps in the bathroom anymore. Gotta love her!

My kitty looks just like yours except his name is BlackJack!! Very cute : )
Your story of meeting Cleo reminds me of my meeting my Aleca, who is now 16. I was looking for a black and white cat. She's a calico and wouldn't take no for an answer. We've been very happy together.
Cleo is a beauty! It is funny how cats do seem to take control.
Cleo is an awesome cat!
