Welcome to Kiki's homepage!

A few months ago, I signed up to adopt Kiki from the shelter, which was good timing since it saved her from being "put to sleep" the next day. The adoption was going smoothly -- then I found out I couldn't have a cat at my place right away. Augh!! So, my friend/boss type person Maya adopted Kiki instead, for a month or so.

Kiki lives with me now and she's a very happy, healthy lap cat. She follows me everywhere!

Kiki lookin' all relaxed on my bed.

Once she noticed the camera, she decided to stretch and lick her nose all glamorously!

Sleepy, but cute.

She looks just like a cat food advertisement!

Here's Kiki's self-styled arch nemesis, Neko. Neko is my mom's cat and she hisses at both me and Kiki... neither of us understand why... oh well! I think she's just hopelessly neurotic.

The two cats have similar coloring, but Neko has stripes while Kiki is tortoiseshell. *I* think Kiki's cuter with her face markings, cream toes and tailtip... but of course, my mom thinks Neko's cuter. We're so biased.

Through the miracle of modern cat treats and a quick camera-trigger finger, I managed to get these two cats in the same photo for just barely long enough before Kiki split. Of course, Neko is NOT happy, heh. I don't know why she's so afraid of this tiny little cat.

Kiki next to a folder, so you can see how big she is (or isn't). She's 6 pounds right now, about a year and a half old. Compare that to monster Neko who's at least twice her size and three times her age... Kiki looks kinda puzzled in this shot. Awww. :)
