Gypsy

Gypsy will be 17 years old come Spring.  My niece Emily found her at our Sonora house prior to our moving up there after we retired.  I already had a cat and really did not want another.  At the time she was a kitten and we would go up there every other week-end and she would come around and hang around with my husband.  Long story short, when we moved up there, she moved in.  She is my dear friend and my only child.  There is no doubt in her mind that she is a person.  So I've always let her believe it.  She is very very very spoiled.
