Tabby Tuesday: Meet Dharma


This is our sweet little tabby, Dharma. She was rescued from a local shelter when she was about six months old. It was right after the passing of our beloved (and grumpy) Ayla, and I really wanted another grey and white tabby cat. The shelter tried to pass her off as 12-weeks old--I guess to make her more adoptable--but we didn't care. It was love at first sight with her. Unfortunately, because she was feral, it took a while for her to warm up to us.

She is now three years old and is the spaz of the household. For such a tiny cat she can run very, very fast. She can make it from one side of the house to the other and from one floor to another in only a matter of seconds. It's quite impressive to watch. She has also embraced her inner tabby which means she can be a major mush when she's in the mood for it. It's hard to imagine that such a feral little kitty turned into a big lovebug.

P.S. In total, we have eleven cats so yes I guess that does qualify us as crazy cat people. >^..^<

What a lucky girl you are Dharma to find such a good home where they let you take your time to warm up!

Dharma has a beautiful fur suit! She must look like a little puff of smoke zooming around the house.

As for Crazy Cat People, they're the BEST kind. In my opinion.

Dharma, you are such a sweet looking kitty. It's great that you have a lovely furever home. Plus with ten other siblings, it must be so much fun. Thanks for sharing your wonderful story. Have a great day.
