Hi, my name is Kina (which means wicked in Hawaiian) and I have a human named Lauren. I am extremely talkative and I never hesitate to tell people how I feel- I am so loud that even the neighbors know my moods! I am very sweet and loveable but sometimes my vocals drive Lauren crazy! I don't know this yet, but Lauren just adopted another kitty. He can't come home from the shelter yet because he's got a bit of a cold and Lauren doesn't want him to get me sick. She hopes that this new kitty will curb my attitude and give me some exercise since I have become slightly overweight in my one year on this earth. (what does she expect? I'm an indoor only and there's no mice to chase in here!) Anyhow, you can see a picture of me (strategically taken to avoid showing my tummy) at http://hometown.aol.com/eckonikki/myhomepage/cat.html
