Cat Candy Friday

I saw this post on The Knitting Philistine's blog and it made me smile. I thought about how there are many knitters who enjoy the company of a feline (or other furry, feathery, or scaly creatures). I like the idea of having Cat Candy Friday, and so today I am launching Cat Candy Fridays by introducing Pansy.

This is Pansy hugging my yarn.
Pansy was given to me by someone I worked with. Pansy's mother was an expensive show-quality kitty who eloped with the tomcat next door. I was not really interested in getting a kitten, but this little gray kitten sat at my feet and looked up at me for the longest time and won my heart. Because she had such a thoughtful face, I named her after the flower whose name comes from the French word pensée meaning "thought". She has been a member of my family for about 8 years.
