Meet Tiger. She is at least 13 years old. An friend of ours had to move to a new, and cat-unfriendly, place this week, and asked us to take Tiger in. She seems to be adjusting very well. Maybe too well: 36 hours after coming here, she jumped into our bed at 6 AM today and sounded reveille.

We had cats when we lived in Chicagoland, but not since we moved up here back in 1998.
