A Little Background on my Cat

Jessie was born up the road from our home and was orphaned at age three weeks when her mother crossed, or should I say, tried to cross a busy road. She came to live with us at that time and was our first cat. Being an only cat for many years suited her just fine as she got all the attention. Her favorite game is "flashlight tag", and as we move the beam of light here and there, she chases and dashes after it to catch it. Even at 17 years old, she still loves to play.

What Were the Circumstances of the Photo?

Jessie has always loved to play in boxes, and as I was emptying the cans of Friskies from the box to the pantry shelf, she stood watching. I put the box in the floor for her to play in as I do every time; she meows if I don't get the box in the floor quickly enough.
