We
adopted Tifa from Committed Alliance to Strays (C.A.T.S.), a local
no-kill shelter that rescued her as a kitten. Her name is not short for
Tiffany; my video game-loving husband named Tifa and her sister Aeris
after characters in Final Fantasy VII.
One of Tifa's nicknames is Baby Otter, because she can often be found
lying on her back, her hind feet waving in the air and her front paws
folded on her chest, like an otter opening an abalone shell on the
waves.
Another one of her nicknames is Secret Purr, because her purr is so soft
and faint. Only when you are at your most quiet, your most still, your
most peaceful can you hear the secret purr. I usually hear it at night,
when she lies with her hind feet on my chest and her front paws lightly
touching my face.
Tifa has a sweet, gentle, and affectionate personality. She loves
sitting in front of a fan to feel her fur blow back, curling up beside
my husband to watch basketball on TV (he says she cheers for the
Lakers), and sprawling on the drawbridge of her cat castle as in the
picture. Tifa is a cherished member of our family.
