   Cleo (short for Cleopatra) is my best friend in all honesty. I found her on the Internet and adopted her from a rescue shelter in Atlanta Georgia. She was worth every mile and penny. The lady who had her said that several people had tried to adopt her by offering more money but she refused, she had already promised her to me. I had a best friend for 16 years (Pandora) that I had to put to sleep because of a kidney disease that she fought for two years. I thought I would never find another kitty that I could love just half as much as I did Pandora. I was really depressed and lonely. I looked around at several pet stores and local rescue shelters but nothing took my heart away. I had given up hope...then one day I was messing around on the internet and wow there she was with those big blue eyes...she stole my heart right then and there. She's six weeks old in that picture, by the way.

    Now, needless to say she is very spoiled and loves me dearly. She sleeps with me at night, gets up with me to get dressed for work, we put on make-up together (I have to look for my mascara and brushes - she likes to carry them off in hopes to keep me home a little longer). She greets me at the door when I come home, sometimes with her washcloth (she has to have her face washed with a warm cloth every morning) in her mouth or on my bed to remind me that she has to be pampered too. She also has a little pink silky mouse that she puts on the bed to play with at bed time when she see's me getting ready for bed with my magazine and TV remote. Needless to say not much reading or watching television gets done. Cleo demands a lot of attention which I give, after all who could resist those big blue eyes?
