Here’s our Gabbykins just after we adopted her from the rescue league in ’99. They said she was the most flea-ridden cat they’d ever rescued. She was found in a dumpster severely malnourished and a few days pregnant but too thin to sustain the litter. They warned us that she’d get much floofier once she was eating properly and they did not tell a lie. They also called it right when they said she has a jewel of a personality. Right away we shortened her name to Gabby, Gabrielle being just entirely too prissy for this vibrant and somewhat clumsy girl. See all that hair sticking out between her toes? She has much more now and it causes her to slip and slide on a regular basis when she tries to jump up.
