Happy Caturday to you!

Back in November, 2006...

...our family suddenly grew up by one member. And, no, it was not my babygirl yet, this happened a few years later. When we were out, at a tiny local foody store, situated in the basement of a neighbouring building just next to us (max 100 meters) my wife was chosen! A little crazy frightened white kitty momentarily
clung to her coat and nimbly climbed up, nestled on her neck, refusing to go down. At first we thought this was a local cat living in the store, but it turned out it wasnt. The seller in the store told us: "we do not know this kitten, this is not ours, feel free to take it". The kitten (later examination showed that it was only 2 months old) grabbed into her coat with all four paws and flatly refused to disconnect!

So this wild beast appeared in our house, and it was afraid of everyone, hissed and hid. The first shock passed quickly, but the kitty still remained ... uh ... not too affectionate.

But over time - her temper have softened. But it took many years :)
Now she comes onto the knees naturally; moreover, she urgently demands stroking! several times per day. 'Aging in a good way' ;)

At the time an old longhaired siamese red cat was living with us (and, frankly speaking, he was a big retard!) He reacted quite indifferently to the emergence of a rival / competitor for our love. So lazy, what more can I say!

The new arrived kitty bravely explored the new territory and made it her own pretty fast. All of it. Even the ceiling!

She used to play with a rope and a bow ... Now she feels herself far superior above this simple fun!

Already at a young age, she understood well that the main occupation of cats is to lie at any cozy spot and do nothing.

...and my old NEC 14 inch display.
Sweet memories!

Do you remember? for cats, boots are the wormholes to another dimension!

May 2007. Half a year kitty!

Let me round up my memories from her 1st year of life with this shot from September, 2007 -- she is 10 months age here. A frightened crazy kitten have transformed into a young lady!
