Cat Name Bowtie

(Boston)

We had first moved to Boston in January 2009. In November I saw a pregnant feral cat hanging around outside the building. I left the back door open so she wouldn't freeze, and she came in.

She gave birth to a litter of four kittens and one looked at me with the cute kitten eyes. I ran out and told my fiance who saw them and told me to wait because glue traps were just put down the day before, and they all got caught on them.

The tuxedo kitten was crying. I grabbed it and we took the glue trap off her and washed the dirt off her. I held her and she fell asleep in my arms while purring. I looked up and saw a bowtie on her nose. She has been a daddy's girl every since then. We re-homed her brother and three sisters, finding them good homes.
