Q : QUEEN

      
This is my QUEEN, Greta. She was a feral kitten given to me by a co-worker. She came from a feral colony that was mixed Siamese and greys. She is very Siamese, cream-colored with smoky grey points- and big beautiful blue eyes. She had one litter, my daughter's grey was the father. Here is a picture of the litter of 4 when they were down for a baby nap:
 (Adore them!)
I kept 2 males, Tallulah & Hezekiah. (My daughter kept the other 2).
(Hezekiah & Tallulah as babies.)
(Hezzie grown, guarding my bedroom, the desk to left where I am sitting right now writing this. *waves*)
 
And this is just a little ditty I had originally written for this post...
       

QUEEN
If I were a Queen
Even for a day
I don't suppose that I
Would know what to say

To have so many people
At my every beck and call
Would I forget how to manage
Could I handle it at all?

I suppose I know the truth
I'm already Queen of Me
Monarchy lives with their strange rules
And I live in the land of the free.

    And THANKS Noelle! You've certainly hear enough about her! Hez and Lulu still look the same as pictured, only bigger. Same sweet faces and big eyes..
    They are my bestest friends and best companions.
