I have 2 cats, which many times can be more than enough. Both are rescues. The black cat is Inky who thinks she is the boss of me and many times she IS the boss of me but don't tell her that.
The tan tabby is Cici whom I rescued when she was barely weaned. She was literally skin and bones when I got her. Didn't think she would make it through the night, but 13 years later here she is. She is an absolute love on her own terms. She's my shadow quite often.
