The Prodigal Kitty

This is Gypsy, the cat who ran away for two days and came back only 10 minutes before her owner left for the airport to move to the Yukon.
She’s not as photogenic as Leroy, but she’s very sweet. She’s adjusted quite nicely to our home—the larger, more active household seems to suit her. She’s a mewer, not a meower or a yowler. Sweet little soft mews, but she’s persistent with them, so they work for her.
She’s half the size of Leroy, but she gives him a run for his money. They like to chase each other and wrestle, and when Leroy grows tired of it all and tries to ignore her, she keeps pouncing on him to get him to play.
The dog? Truth be told, she’d rather that big doggy thing didn’t live here, so she ignores it in hopes it’ll go away. So far, that strategy hasn’t worked for her.
I’m the only other person besides her owner for whom she purrs, so she’s alright in my book.
Kim of The Upward Call is collecting links to cat photos today. If you’ve a cat, post a photo and give her the link.

Aw, just look at that sheen on her fur. Lovely girl!
What a pretty kitty! She seems quite photogenic to me!
I think because she's all black she doesn't show up to be as cute as she is.
She is very cute and I say that because she looks EXACTLY like my cat, right down to the fur coming out of her ear :) My 5 year-old daughter saw the picture and said, "there's Mr. Knits!" (yeah, that's really the name of our cat)
