[Den]

Little Miss Lucy entered our lives last April, by meowing her weird little meow while Mom was outside planting spring plants one Saturday. At first, Mom wasn't sure she was hearing a cat, so she did her kitty call that nobody else in our family can replicate, and out of the bushes came this dirty little puffball with big blue eyes. Dad took one look at her and went "Oh, no." because he was sure we wouldn't be getting rid of her (He was right. But she became his cat, funnily enough).

Mom and I gave her a bath, and she purred all day, even when she was sleeping. It turned out that the kids a couple houses down had brought her home, but their mom didn't want a cat, so they were keeping her in their shed, where she escaped and made her way to our house. She was super little, and we weren't sure how big she'd get. We got really lucky that she was healthy and had no fleas when we got her.

Now, she's eight pounds of 'tude and fur.
