Gretchen was a most serendipitous addition to my family. Although
I had been perfectly content with my two black cats (I always choose black cats), she turned up as a stray in my parents' back yard one night, a tiny little kitten, about 4 lbs. I took her home with the intent of surrendering her to the shelter the next morning... but, overnight she stole my heart.

She absolutely loves Alonso...
"Hmm... Is stalking that
scrawny little squirrel
really worth the effort
of scaling this snowy hill?"
"And now I'm the Queen of the roost!"
