The Elsie Page

Elsie is my cat. She was born March 21, 2000. As you can see, she is incredibly cute. I won't make claims that she is smart or well-behaved, but she is a great companion.

David Ferron and family recently sent me the latest in a long series of bizarre gifts: a giant yellow pen, with a bird face and a fluffy, feathery top, all in a base that looks like a bird foot. They named it Flash. I set Flash up on my desk, and I got out the camera and waited to see how Elsie would welcome him.

Here's a photo showing how she's grown, taken in May 2000. All the other photos on this page are from July or August 2000. She's in my lap, attacking the camera strap.
