Cat Profiles

Three cats allow me to live with them. I have talked about these fantastic felines with many people and now feel each kitty deserves to be highlighted on their own.

This post is dedicated to Isis.

The name Isis comes from ancient Egyptian mythology. Isis was a goddess revered for her kindness, gentleness, and compassion. She heard the prayers of all, from the slave to the emperor. She was honored as the ideal wife and mother.

Our Isis is a bit different. She is the smallest of the three cats, weighing in at just over 6 pounds. She has a tiny voice, but that makes it all the more shrill when she's sitting at the door screaming to be let out into the courtyard.

Isis may be the smallest of the three cats, but she is the fighter and the hunter. Our home is bug free, she's apparently taken on a mouse in the house, and I most recently found her ready to jump on the fence surrounding our courtyard in pursuit of our resident squirrel, Chuck.

Isis has a face fetish, rubbing against anything and everything. She does not like to be held, or even petted that much. She's very much her own cat, and all the more adorable for it.

Isis is the Princess of the house whom we cannot imagine living without.
