Cats are so colorful and varied it’s easy to forget that part of the function of coloring is camouflage. I almost didn’t see this little gal sitting in our front foyer! But the camera never lies:

Meet Lovi(licious(ness)), the fifth member of our increasing series of L-named cats. This little lady started coming round our house in San Jose, and after Sandi started feeding her, she soon won her over (it is not clear who won whom over). Sandi welcomed her inside, where Lovi started using the litter box like a pro. We suspect she was someone’s kitten who was scared away from their home by fireworks at the Fourth of July, and after unsuccessfully attempting to find her owners, Sandi brought her back to South Carolina.
Crazy cat people here we come.
