She is blue-grey, 5 y.o., had her for 3 weeks now.  She is the first
cat I've ever had.  It totally surprises me how needy & affectionate
they are.  She is not as "independent" as I thought a cat would be...
that is fine by me.  It shows that she needs to be petted.  She
sometimes meows and lays on the floor because she wants attention.
Sometimes she hisses if she is (I'm assuming), hungry. (This is usually
in the morning.)  When did kitties ever hiss when there is no direct
threat? I find this interesting. Perhaps she is establishing "house
rules", and that is to be fed promptly. Who knows? Anyway, she is a
lovely little animal. Her name is Silly.
