Gatsby, Roxy, and Splenda

by Auburn
(Tennessee)

I adopted three orphaned kittens (two girls and a boy) which were abandoned on my farm. I named the boy Gatsby, as in The Great (he was solid black with a little white bow tie). One of the girls was solid white, so I named her Splenda (she's sweet and calorie-free!). And the last girl was mostly black with white socks and breast, and she was named Roxy (after the lead from the movie Chicago -- she's spunky and always getting into trouble).

It has been many years since I found those three sweet little fluffballs on the farm, and Gatsby and Splenda have since moved on to Kitty Heaven, but Roxy is contentedly asleep in my lap even as I type these words. I wouldn't trade the relationship I had with these three kitties for the world!


Reply from Liz (Editor): Than you so much for this great photo of your kittens and their story - they are really gorgeous! Great names too. They were really lucky to be found by you.
