Description: Journaling:

My first cat, Chris got her for me from the shelter for my 25th birthday. I had recently had to give up my Akita, Orion, while living in Winter Havin, my tiniy apartment was too small for him, my hours for work were insane and I was just heart-broken. I had told him if I ever got a cat I wanted a white one. Now you know I can't just name a pet something obvious, Snowball, Snowflake, Sugar - never were possibilities. I started to look through Irish baby names, and decided on Keiran - which means black. Nearly six years later, she's still always by my side. Still remnids me at 11:30 that it's time for bed and still "whines" as opposed to meows. She can hear the manual can opener anywhere in the house, and always thinks it's tuna for her. - April 2004.

Papers and fibers are Club Scrap Pets kit, ink is chalk - brads are MM. The "charm" pawprints were made with shrinkydinks - I inked them with a CS "tag" stamp from the kit, and drew the pawprints on with a zig pigment pen.
