~ This is one of the precious, young cats that visits our backyard from day to day.

This adorable, cuddly cat was originally named Fishes (what I still call her), but my brother calls her Milkshake now. He cares for her the most, joyfully running outside at any glance of her. He even set a little box outside with a towel for her to feel *homey* in.
