Meet Clara, My New Furry Friend

claraHere are some photos of my new cat Clara. She is the most loving cat I’ve ever met, and she’s quite spoiled, too. Whenever I sit down, she jumps on my lap and starts purring. She extends her paws toward my face as though she’s giving me little love taps, and then she often curls up in a ball and falls asleep. She likes to play, too, and readily uses her scratch post. She’s 4-months-old and is pretty tiny. Check back here for more updates on her growth.
