Here she is: [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=202386&l=c60d5&id=774003991)

She really surprised me - she’s a very timid cat. She’s afraid og the toy mice we’ve given her.

And this is where I confess that I took the liberty of calling her my cat, when she’s really my roomates’ - but she’s forgotten that and only wants to sleep in my bed 🙂

You know, she’s just saving you from him so she can kill and eat you later herself.

But she’s still so cute! 😃

It’s s sheepskin 🙂 Used to keep my working chair warm - which is why she’s lying there - a devious scheme to occupy things I’m bound to use so I’ll have to pet her and feel sorry for interrupting her.

She’s used that method on every item I own - jackets, backpacks and every single dining chair… And me. She owns me.

I’m just surprised she didn’t cower in fear but stood up for me instead. HA that’ll teach the (newish) boyfriend.
