She was only about 7.5lb before she lost 1lb this summer & we worried it was the end. But she's always been a tiny cat, I suspect she was a runt. These are some of my earliest pictures of her from june and july '06! Took forever for her to hit 2lbs to be spayed & come home to me!

everybody needs a cat babysitter/nurse when they are sick. i guess all the times (2) she visited me in hospitals qualified her for nurse duty. most nurses (in my experience) don't sit on their patient's chest though. thankfully this was when she was beside me, not on top of me.

did not know about the proof of cat rules here. my bad. izzy is 18 years old and has been through a lot of shit with me over the years.
