Apollo, otherwise known as Psycho Kitty, came to us with her three siblings and mom as a foster family from the animal shelter when my daughter was a sixth grade volunteer there. The idea was to enjoy the antics of four kittens without adding another Permanent Cat to the household. Like all carefully laid plans, that one had its shortcomings and, seven years later, Apollo, the god(dess, in this case) of light and poetry, is still here.
You would never know that this has been her home for most of her earthly existence. She leaps into the air and races from the room at the slightest provocation. If strangers are in the house, they just might see a tail curling around a doorway -- probably not, though. Apollo is here but she isn't. We're not sure which life she is on.

How sweet. Scratch her ears and tummy for me.
Apollo looks suspiciously like our Lucky right down to the "I'm a cat and.............you're not, That should explain everything. If you have a problem with this see the first part of the sentence" look in those green eyes.

I'm not a cat person but could grow fond of Apollo's looks. It sounds like she's a typical cat though so I'm glad she's making you happy!!!!!
What a beautiful cat! Looks like a four legged angel to me.
Best,

How many "Permanent Cats" do you have? Take it from me, eight is about two too many... But I wouldn't give one of them up without a fight; and when I see one that needs a home, I have to force my arms to remain firmly folded... That's probably why I'm afraid to volunteer at the shelter.
Apollo looks like my Maudie! Lisa :-]
what green eyes you have.
Those eyes! She looks very content and relexed.
Psycho-kitty...qu'est-ce que c'est? Run, run, run, run, run, run away

Look at those beautiful green eyes! Adorable.
She's beautiful. That's why I love cats so much. Besides being so pretty, they are all crazy. When I really need a laugh, I can count on one of mine to do something insane.

What a gorgeous cat! Her personality reminds me of my cat, Trafalgar, who died last year at age 19. For the first 15 years of her life, we barely saw her. She was always very skittish. But then, all of a sudden, it was as if she announced, "Here I am!" For the last four years of her life, she demanded near-constant attention.
