She's now about five years old and weighs 14 pounds. I'm pretty sure she's a Maine Coon, as she has all the attributes. Very decorative, but not the sharpest pencil in the box, cat-wise. She's the Hairiest Cat Ever, and from the Vernal until the Autumnal Equinoxes she sheds like a fiend.

I got her from a racing buddy's wife's parents--they got her as a kitten from a neighbor as a replacement cat, but the cat she was due to replace suddenly realized what was going on and displayed great displeasure, along with a renewed interest in life in general. They asked me if I wanted another cat to replace the 12 year old male I'd had since he was 5 weeks old (found on the Interstate in the median, and the best, smartest cat EVER, although he was from feral stock and completely mental), and I said sure.

If I didn't travel so much, I'd love to have a dog. A REAL dog. A DOG dog. But a cat is the perfect low maintenance pet who is good at feigning affection when it's really just looking for a warm place to hang out.
