Granny Patches, Summer 2011
Patches is our matriarch, she's almost 17 years old now. I first saw her outside, when I was raising an orphan litter of kittens in my office. I looked out the window and there she was. I looked at her, and said "I do not want another cat." and closed the window.
Six months later I brought her in the house. I actually adopted her not long after I first saw her, but she was an outside cat for four months. Then it snowed, and she became trapped beneath our house. I opened the window from our half basement, and said "Come on in." She's been an indoor cat ever since.
Patch is definitely The Boss. She'll even smack our big ol dog, Bud, if she thinks he's out of line. He'll run from her, too!
