....and her only eccentricity is that she will only drink from the bathroom faucet. Oh, and she persists in waking me vigorously at 5 a.m. and I am not a morning person.

Otherwise, fine. She came from a home with four other cats, and so I think that we may get her a companion next month. I wish I had thought to ask if the shelter had any of her siblings. It's very sad to me when cat families are split up.
