Abby:  I live with 13 other kitties, two humans, and a d*g, in Indiana.  

My, that must be furry nice to be in such a large furmily. Tell us how it came together

Abby:  My furmom, three siblings, and myself were homeless and wandering in the hills near Mommy's home. She and a neighbor rescued and adopted us.
  

 That was lucky for mew to find a good home. Dere's so many homeless kitties that need homes today. What is mewr most favorite thing to eat?

Abby: I will eat just about anything in the line of cat food, but I
also love people food like meat and spaghetti. Spaghetti is good, because I
have no teef.

Abby: Kitties should always have good and loving purrents to take care
of them, see that they are fed and petted a lot. And they should also keep
their kitties indoors. The Out is way too dangerous.
