Here is what Sissy looked like when she first adopted me. I thought she was a sealpointed dilute tortie because I could see her markings very faintly at the time. Her fur was sparse and really rough. She was dehydrated, had coccidia and weighed just 6 pounds:






Here's what she looks like NOW, healthy as a little horse and about as fat as one, too. Her fur is thick and so soft; see how dark her coat is now:







These pics were taken with my cell phone, which is why they are so much smaller. What a difference a year and some love makes, huh?!

What a beauty! It's unbelievable what a little TLC and consistent care can do for a kitty. Bless you both for loving her and taking care of her.

LOL, whaddaya mean would? She IS an intimidating kitty! When the Census was happening, a census worker came here (was the wrong address anyway,) but left me a note on my front lawn that said to please call her because she was afraid of the cat on the porch!!!


I call her my watchcat. She hisses at everything and everyone, but she just loves me to bits!

I know! And nearly two years now since Baby Bonnie was a teensy little thing who needed me so badly! Boy, time sure does fly!
