The original title of this post was "My Princess GiGi," but as I write this my legs are falling asleep because of the weight of my chubby kitty sleeping on my legs, so I thought it was fitting to change the title.
I want to introduce the newest member to my family. Gidget, aka "GiGi." She came with that name Gidget, but it reminded me of how much trouble I got for chopping off the hair of my mother's vintage Barbie doll named Gidget when I was a child so I went for a more sassy nickname.
I got GiGi in April when she was about a year old. She was found under a trailer park home in the snow in January. It was rumored that she had been bullied severely by the male cats in the trailer park. As a result, she was quite skittish when I first got her, but something about her appearance and timid demeanor tugged on my heart strings.
I am happy to say that while she is still a shy cat around other people, but she is very loving and attached to me. She has made an excellent companion for me and I am happy that I was able to provide her a calm, loving home.
