This is Boo….she is my constant companion (unless she’s napping on the furnace which you would think would be uncomfortably hot but nooooo…). She was a baby when she came to us, sick with an upper respiratory infection that took many months from which to fully recover. That sickly little kitten has grown into the beauty she is today. I have such a soft spot for black cats now…they are so smart and so loving. She sleeps under my right hand because she has learned that when mom is awake in the night, that hand will scratch her belly endlessly.
