Zoey was an adorable fluffy white kitten - born in Colorado - across the street from my parents house. The story goes something like this: I saw her and fell in love - she was promised to someone else. We were on a road trip and had left for home and got a call from my mom after being on the road for a few hours that we could have the kitty. My husband (boyfriend at the time) turned the car around and headed back for her. She was a lovely traveler on the way home and she made fast friends with Isabel and Aggie - the kitties we had at the time....
Zoey morphed from an all white kitten to a beautiful marmalade and cream colored cat. It's believed that she has some lynx point Siamese in her blood line. She also morphed from a happy purring kitten to a somewhat persnickety adult kitty. She has certainly mellowed over the years but she can still be hissy, growly, and unpleasant to strangers and especially to the vet. She loves her humans though and is quite loyal. She gets along well with all the kitties, is peacefully co-existent with Emma and is not a huge fan of the ferrets even though they try to be friends with her often.
We have had a few health scares with Miss Zo over the years but for the time being she is quite stable and seems to be doing well and enjoying life.
So - happy birthday to my girl - you were so worth the miles we spent turning around to pick you up and make you a part of our family!!!
