Mimi my little ball of fur

I've always wanted a cat. There were no doubts about what I wanted even when I was little, seeing my first word I ever spoke was "cat" (it was in Finnish so it was of course "kissa"). I went on and on about having a little ball of fur but unfortunately, my father and my brother are allergic.. :-( (Also my mother was afraid that she'd be the one left to take care of the little one if I'd choose to get bored after a week. A very good point at the time, if I think about it)

Well the moment I moved out from my mother's house, I immediately started to plan my big dream of having a cat. One nice day my sweet Kaija came to me with good news! She knew a family where two little cats were born, a boy and a girl and I could choose if I'd want one. I was doubting at first, it is a responsibility. But I went for it and then end of may 2007 Kaija came over with this... 

 I wondered for a while what I could call her but I decided to call her Mimi :-) I chose the girl cat after some advice from people who have experience (boys tend to pee everywhere to mark their territory and seeing my cat would be an inside cat I didn't want to risk it).

When she was small I couldn't have imagined what kind of devil she would grow up to be. (well people are saying that I made her like that, but how can that be :-D). 

Mimi is now big 5 years old. Yay. She loves to sleep on things, to crawl inside things, under things, fetch a ball (and bring it back!), purr, bark (she grew up with a dog...hm), destroy my carpet, be angry at birds, hunt spiders and other eww things, cuddle me (and only me!), meooww but most of all she loves the sun ! 

Mimi is a heat seeker, you can always find her near a heater or in the sun

What you learn young...
