So, Sian is considered to be a Black Tabby, AKA a Black Smoke Tabby

Her eyes are still transitioning so not sure if they will be green or gold.

It's funny because she looked solid black when I first found her. It was only after a few days that I really noticed the stripes and the 'M' on her forehead.

I see pretty cats all the time that I'd like to have. There was a pretty calico that hung around here for a long time. I think someone grabbed her. It's hard cleaning up after a bunch of cats, so I keep all but one outside. Too bad I can't devote more time to them. They can be very active and are entertaining to watch.

Sian just runs from item to item. The other night she spent a LONG time attacking a tag on a pillow.

When I saw Arthur, the day he was born, I KNEW he was going to stay with me. Then Carys came along. Another Tabby. Now Sian.

I just can't believe how lucky I am that these fur babies all get along so well.

Whatever you call it. I was thinking about this yesterday, though, and I came up with something like those names.

She is a pretty girl.

She's starting to follow me around the house so I have to be careful where I step.
