My Little Grey Cat

I have the cutest little grey cat. Her name is Jasmine. (Lovingly named after the Disney princess by my daughter) She is only about 5 pounds. We have been together for about 14 years.

I remember searching shelters and going to adoption fairs for kittens. My daughter, who was young at the time, couldn't understand why we just didn't pick any old cat. I remember telling her that we were waiting to find the perfect cat for us.

One winter afternoon we went into PetSmart and there was an adoption fair going on and there she was.... small, grey, with beautiful green eyes. When I looked at her I knew she was THE one.

We have been together for many years, She has been such a comfort tome in so many ways. If I wasn't feeling well or feeling down she would curl up in my lap or just lay down next to me and offer whatever comfort she could. When she wasn't well I would pick her up and carry her like a baby.

Jasmine has the biggest meow going. If you just heard her meow and didn't see her you would think she was a 20 pound cat. When she jumps down from the couch and runs across the floor she sounds like a herd of elephants. Nope, just a teeny tiny cat.

A teeny tiny cat with a great big heart.
