Inky

Inky is the first animal to ever win my heart. When V and I were renovating the interior of the house she would sit and stare at us through the glass doors. She sat with Little Caiti when LC was trapped in the cage. She was the first of the kitties to let us pet her. She's freaking adorable.

Inky is almost a year old. For about the first six months of her life, all Inky had to eat was what she and the other kitties could catch. Because of that Inky was greedy for a long time. She had a hard time believing she would get food everyday and that there would always be enough. Whenever I would give the kitties treats Inky would run back and forth trying to eat all of them before LC could have any. Now she has calmed down a lot and doesn't try to steal food from LC. However, V and I think Inky is going to always be very small since she was so malnourished as a kitten. I would guess she weighs 4-5 pounds. And she has teeny tiny paws. Compared to Inky Little Caiti looks super fat.

Inky started letting us pet her a few months ago. It started when I ran my hand along her tail as she walked by one morning. Then she started walking in circles so my hand would continuously pet her tail. Then slowly we started petting now. Now she is a huge love bug! She tries to keep V and I from going inside the house whenever she can. She's better at guilting me into staying outside with her than V. She would like to come in the house but until she lets us pick her up without any problems she's not coming inside. So she sits and stares into our living room and tries to guilt me into going outside with her. And most of the time, it works.
