Crow

I found a cat today. It’s a girl. She’s jet black. I found her hanging out around Joy’s car when I was going to my car to get my laptop and flash drive.

She was pretty skittish at first, but she came around quickly and let my neighbor and me pet her. Joy came out really quickly when she thought she heard me say kitty. So, Joy kept her company while I went inside to get her some grub.
At first we started out by feeding her some old tuna that my brother had from before the break. I micro waved to make it warm. Then I started mixing in some wheat, corn and rice Chex in with the Tuna. She liked that well enough, so I added more the fourth time we got her food. (She was really hungry!) Finally, I just got her a big bowl, filled it with the rest of the tuna, tons of Chex, and some white shredded cheese on top. That did the trick. She ate it all and seemed to finally be full.
She was really grateful. She let us pet her and she laid in our laps. She even let Joy pick her up. She was definitely less than a year old. I think she was probably born late last winter or early spring so she was still young and cute, but very bony.
I decided to name her Crow, because of her color, because I still miss Dove, and because there were a bunch of crows crowing in the background the whole time when we found her.
I took some pictures of her too, which isn’t something I’m really big into, but hey… why not?

UPDATE 1/19/2003: I finally added one of the pictures of Eme, and I am announcing that the name Crow never really worked for Joy, so we have since decided on a name that we both could live with, so now our kitty's name is EME! (Pronounced "ih-mi")
