This is Molly, AKA Mei-Mei, a tortoiseshell kitten that I got from Jessica, a co-worker and former attendee of the erstwhile Synergy Chamber.
She is one of the most laid-back cats I've ever had. She's only about nine weeks old but instead of seeming distraught at some strange man plucking her from home, she nestled right up to my chest when she was given to me, and then curled up for a snooze when I put her in my passenger seat., Then, when I reached over to give her a reassuring scratch behind the ear on the half-hour ride home, she rolled over to get tummy tickles, and grabbed my hand with her paws so I couldn't pull away. I've had a lot of cats in my day, but I'm not used to them being so immediately at ease and trusting.
She's since spent the past couple days hiding out -- this is the best picture I've been able to manage in two days of trying. She is a ninja -- but after I disturbed her nap to snap this picture, she's decided to explore the homestead in a little more detail.
I think we're gonna be good friends.
