1 month before my youngest child left for college my old Siamese of 13 years passed away. Off to school my youngest went. I came home from work at night and the emptiness set in.
After 6 months I started looking for another Siamese.
On my youngest child's birthday I brought home a one pound kitten.
We name her Rikka.
Her name means perfect snow in Japanese.
She was very white when I brought her home, only later getting her dark points.
She was 1 pound of brave and curious kitten.
And perfect in every way she is a constant companion.
