Unlike some cowards in the Middle East and at FXX, I’m sticking by this name since it fits her and she continues to respond to it. Her birthday picture is a looping GIF because cats are like children, they don’t look directly into the camera at the right moment. Besides, it was an excuse for me to show off how I’ve learned the essentials in Photoshop which can do this. No more hunting down a compatible app! Contrary to the “neutral” face she’s making, something you hear cat haters use to make their arguments about cats not being affectionate, loving, loyal or good pets…Isis is having a standard, happy day. This time was a rare moment she wasn’t playing Rapunzel in the tower, her favorite hideout. Isis is getting braver at hanging with us directly when the other three cats are present, namely Kuroneko, our current alpha cat. I remember it took Miette a couple years and a new house before she would hop up on me for direct attention. Animals are more socially aware of pecking orders than people.
Isis continues to be a joy around the house. She is the proud mother of nine kittens (Not all at once! Try three litters) who managed to be adopted from the AHS. Even the nasty-spirited Weth probably overcame her distrust of people as she grew older and her mama’s disposition genes kicked in.
