Living in Margaritaville

2007 I lost my beloved kitty of 17 years. After a year I wanted to fill the emptiness. I knew I wanted a miniature.

I went online & found a site, they were so cute! But they were very pricey. I printed the kitten's picture & posted it on my vision board. Months & months went by & I waited. I could look out my bedroom window & see down in my neighbor's yard, a wooden platform. I kept thinking that is a logical place for a stray cat to have kittens. After a while I didn't dwell on my future kitty.

One summer evening I arrived home from work to find my family & neighbors enjoying an impromptu margarita party. As the evening wore on we noticed seven little tails silhouetted in the night. Seven little kittens coming up our side walk.

We had a kitty roundup. Of course I "rounded up" the littlest one. I've had her now for six months & she has not grown very much. She might be about two pounds at most. Her name... is Margaret.
