Oh, she loves me for sure.  She's a major snuggle-bug :)

She adopted me in the bitter cold of 2001 after apparently being dumped by
someone.  She yowled at my back door to be let in.  I'd never had a cat
before so I tried to chase her off.  Nope, she would have none of that.  So
as the temps plunged to about 23F I ran to the store, bought a bag of cheap
cat food, a litter box and litter.  She was still there when I returned so I
invited her inside.  She used the litter box and slept on the bed with me
from the first night.

I tried to find her owners but it was a no-go.  And after 3-4 days she made
it clear she was staying with me so I took her to the vet.  She'd been
spayed and front declawed.  She appears to be half (if not more) Russian
Blue.  She has the characteristic "blue" (grey) fur and green eyes and
subtle stripes on the tail.  She's also a talker and a very lovey cat.
She's about 5-6 years old.  She purrs up a storm and loves to snuggle.  She
always wakes me up in the morning with a gentle tap-tap on my shoulder and
then purrs in my ear.  Her whiskers tickle!  "Time to wake up and feed me!"
