Introducing Lily [View all]



Thanks to everyone who suggested names and thank you to my fellow Minnesotan Ocelot II for suggesting Lily as a name.

She's been a sweet cat, though on the naughty side. She loves to cuddle and be pet, and she already caught a mouse!
She also loves to knock things off tables, especially the remote control, and today she got my glasses! Twice she has busted into the big bag of cat food, but I just got an airtight container that I hope will keep her out. Her foster mom let her free feed because she's food insecure, but she was eating an enormous amount. I don't want her to get severely overweight, so I've been feeding her on a schedule, which doesn't make her happy. If anyone has suggestions for any of the above, I'd love to hear them.
