Zissou

February 26, 2010

Stella says: We found Zissou near a country house, she was abandoned when she wasn't even a month old, she needed care and food: she weighed less than 500 gr when we brought her home. I named her Zissou from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou because I'm such a Wes Anderson fan and because I wasn't sure at first if she was a she or a he and I liked it both ways. She grew up so much since then! And she grew up to be the boss in the house; she's a little lion in disguise. She loves company (in fact she gets grumpy if left alone in a room), nibbling on human hands, the mop, the sound of opening tuna cans, and curling up on your lap at night and watch films with the rest of the family.

What a beautiful little lady. She reminds me so much of my little Tigerlilly who recently went to the bridge.

What a cutie! I don't know what it is about cats and newspapers, but my cat always flops down on them too, and expects to be pet. Maybe they put catnip in newspaper pulp?

OMG she is being wrapped up in a newspaper - ready for print??? Adorable - in fact every time i see any little ones here i say the same things - but I think this is one looks like she's going to be bossy too - beautiful colourings.

Little Zissou might be saying, whoa, Mommy, you missed a spot on my tummy. Thanks for the "lovin" "rubbin." This little cattie is a real "keeper" and she is lucky that you took such good care of her.
