| In June 2003, at about 11 pm, our front
doorbell rang. I opened the door to find a large box sitting on
the porch. Taped on top of the box was a note that said, "Please
take care of my kitties." When the box was opened, a scrawny Siamese cat jumped out and ran off to the edge of the lawn. We peered inside the box to find 4 tiny kittens. I sighed. We carried the box to the back shed, with the mother trailing behind. Sophie was one of those 4 kittens; she officially became part of our family in November 2003. Sophie is a tiny little girl, not much bigger now than when she was a teenager. She's a real cat - independent, aloof, content to be by herself, seeking out attention on her own terms. Her biological brother Tuxedo occasionally picks on her, but she gets along well with everybody. |

 Sophie
looking adorable.

 Even though she's very small, she doesn't quite fit into this box. |
 There's
always competition for boxes.
