Katie (full name: Kaitlyn Amber) was the sole survivor of a dumped litter of kittens. She was rescued by a little girl named Amber, hence the honorary middle name. I adopted her shortly before I started college, and she lived with my parents until I was in a situation where I could bring her with me.
She moved in with my husband and I after we bought our house. These days she is 14 years old. She’s a little creaky in the hips, and the goofy old thing likes to be fed at 6AM.
She comes into our room, stands on her hind legs and beats on the closet door to get us up! She’s a spoiled old thing, but she’s very sweet if somewhat stand-off-ish. She likes attention, as long as it is on her terms.
She comes into the bathroom to say good morning to me every morning. During the colder months she sleeps in bed with us, although she usually sleeps on my husband’s side of the bed, as she has learned from experience that I tend to kick in my sleep!
