I broke, and brought her inside. [View all]

She's my kitteh now.

Meet Stella (by Starlight). I'm guessing she's 5? months old, and had been hanging around my back door for a while.

She's real affectionate...like most all tabbies I have known...and is beginning to emerge from the corner of the sun room to check out the rest of the house.

Setting up vet appointments later today for flea/worms/vaccines...and later a spaying.
