The first picture is of Spider, our little female, who was rescued from people who were treating her badly. She's a very quiet, sweet girl, and a little bitty thing with short, stubby legs. When our mom-cat Elsa came to us with her kittens, Spider let the babies "nurse" on her tummy , after Elsa was "done" with them! She just wanted to comfort them, sort of like playing "nanny."

Kristin's story about Spider is eloquent in its simplicity. What a sweet girl and look how the sun glistens off that lustrous fur! Spider also appears in the 2008 Black Cats Picture Gallery.
