Cinderella (Eva)

Here is what Simon has to say eight months after he and his family adopted Cinderella, now Eva. I think this is a beautiful story. Not only do I think Simon and his family are wonderful cat owners, I think maybe Simon should be a writer. "Cinderella very quickly became EVA, on account of her arriving on Christmas Eve. Although my youngest will insist on referring to her as 'her pretty little Princess.' So the story on Eva is quite an amazing one. We have never owned a girl cat before, and we were just expecting her to be the same as our other cats. How wrong we were. She is as different and as wonderful as she can possibly be. Everything we do, she is there watching to see what it is. My wife gets ready in the morning, Eva is there watching. If we are doing something in the kitchen, Eva is there watching. When we bring shopping home, she is in each and every bag to see what we have bought. She has to know what is going on at all times. Ripley, our 13-year-old cat, was showing signs of being on his last legs before Eva arrived. Now he is a sprightly young thing prancing around and flirting with her in every way possible. Eva lifted his spirits, that's for sure. Frank, the other cat we had, now has a friend to play ball with, and they spend hours just knocking the ball around on the floor together. But here is the thing we have noticed that sets Eva apart. Everything Eva does, the way she walks, the way she runs, the way she cleans herself, the way she plays, the way she sleeps is done in such a feminine way, there is no way she could be mistaken for a boy. If she could, she'd have her nails done at least once a week. Everything about Eva is beautiful, and we are so pleased to have crossed paths with her. We hope she stays in our lives for the longest time possible."
