Tasty Catarina

'Cat,' short for Catarina, licks her nose while grooming herself Nov. 30, 2010, in Carbondale, Ill.
I found Cat as a skinny (but still lovely) stray trying to cross a busy street in Cobden, Ill., during October of 2010. I brought her to my place, took her to the vet, fed her and loved her. When my parents met her, they liked her so much that they asked to keep her, so she has lived with them since January of 2011.
I adjusted the colors closer to how they appear in normal lighting -- my apartment had florescent lighting, so everything had a yellow tint.
