</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cats are an important part of my life. I was catless when I bought this house and was determined to live in it alone for a year. Two weeks later Scooter and her brother Boxer came to live in it, too. Scooter was my OCD kitty: every night before going to sleep, she HAD to lick the tips of every one of my fingers; if she missed one, she went back to it before finishing. Now, that's just weird. Two years ago, this beautiful cat died. Boxer is still with me, as is a newer adoptee, Tess.
