My name is Phnixmisty or Dee. I have a 6 1/2 year old female black cat named Mia. I also rescued a female calico kitten from the desert six weeks ago. She is about 8 weeks old now and is named Willow. I also lost my big black handsome Jeremy to kidney failure about 5 months ago. I still miss him. He would be 8 years old now. I am a cat lover from way back. As a teenager I helped my mom feed and care for wild cats from the orange groves near our home. To me there is nothing like a cute kitten (or a newborn human) to put a smile on my face. That is not to say I don't mind dogs. We have a rescued female healer mix named Diamond. Mia just tolerates her but Willow loves to play with her ears and tail. I hope to chat with others about my feline adventures and hear about theirs. Until then adieu.
