(16,296 posts)Independent, spirited, uniquely singular in personality. Would lay on my chest, but with her butt to my face. Would beg me to lift her to a branch on a tree then swat my hand. Loved to lick the foam from my cappuccino and lay on the computer monitor and watch me play games. Still miss her after many long years.
