In this photograph little Shiloh has just been given her afternoon beating with a bat. Her right side (the one one you can't see in this photograph) had been set on fire with some lighter fluid and a Zippo lighter. She is unconscious here from pain and abuse.

On a serious note, our Sweet Babycakes has filled out OK from being the tiny runt of the litter but she's still a small cat. But she's she sweetest, most gentlest little girl you could ever meet. I don't think she'll ever go more than 7 or 8 pounds but she is a joy to be near. And Jeez, when she runs by you she is nothing but a white blur. When you pet her and rub her the claws and teeth never come out. You get the green eyes and looks of love while she stretches a bit.

The bride of 38 years won't sleep with me but the cats are allowed to climb into her bed at any time.

She is so ugly!

Sweet Babycakes is the prettiest young girl I have seen since I was in high school, except for Liga Auzins and Mary "Large Lungs" McDermott. And Valerie C.
