This is Zoe as a young kitten (about 3 months old). I thought she was kind of, well, weird-looking.

Zoe likes to nestle down in piles of fabric (such as the comforter on our bed) for her naps.


Zoe frequently begs for food, and we frequently cave in. In these pictures, Zoe has wedged herself between us and the cabinets under the kitchen counter...this is just one of her many begging tactics!


Roly-poly Zoe! Here Zoe is playing with the "Cat Dancer". When Zoe is too tired to chase the toy, she lays on her back and swats at it.


Zoe was born approximately February 14th, 1997, and as far as we know there was only one littermate, a dark tortoiseshell male. Zoe was kind of peach colored between the stripes when she was young, but that gave way to a light silver-tan with heavy ticking. She's our most vocal cat, as well as the one with the most interesting behaviors, but she definitely has a "cattitude". She's not mean, but she has claws and knows how to use them. Trying to pick her up---especially if she does not know you---is a REALLY BAD IDEA.
