Well, she still doesn’t have a name, but I am more certain on the evil thing. So far she’s fallen down the duct work. Hidden for over two hours while my husband and I ripped apart the house trying to find her. Only found her when she came bouncing up to me while we were still hunting. Don’t know exactly where she was, but think there might be a false bottom on our desk and she somehow is getting in there. ---

Take good care of her, just in case cats do get reincarnated. 🙂 I don’t know that she will end up being called Fluffy, but she will be well and truly spoiled. 🙂 You don’t need to worry about that. ---

Twist. Scotch and Soda with a little Twist. But if I was starting fresh I’d have said “Cumulonimbus.” And would have called her “Nimbus” or “Nimby” for short. She’s a cutie pie, congratulations! ---
