Calpurnia


I believe I already have shown you my kitten, Calpurnia, but I think a more formal introduction is in order. We got her in May from the SPCA, she was born in February. Eric and I picked her because she was the one that purred when each of us held her. She is named after Caesar's last wife, who had the prophetic dream about his death. It is only later that we realized that Calpurnia is also the name of the maid/nanny in To Kill A Mockingbird mainly due to the fact that Eric's dog is named Scout.
Her hobbies are hunting toes, climbing the furniture, sleeping, and cuddling. I think she is right-pawed. She eats everything, which means if you leave your plate unattended she will climb on top of it, assuming that you made her a lovely meal.
