This is Little Bit. She is 4 yrs old and lives outside. She's pretty shy most of the time and usually won't let you pet her or pick her up, but every few days or so she comes up to you and meows softly (it sounds like a whisper), which means she wants to be held and petted. She'll let you hold her like a baby and pet her for a few minutes, then she is good for about a week! She got her name because she was so tiny when she came here...now she has gotten pretty big and she has the prettiest coat that looks like velvet. She was sickly when she came too. She had some kind of upper respiratory problem that she just couldn't get over. I kept her in a crate in a separate room from Rusty while I gave her antibiotics for a few weeks and she just wouldn't get better. Since she couldn't get well, the vet ran some tests to be sure she didn't have anything more serious (thankfully she didn't!) and changed her antibiotics and that did the trick. She's been healthy since. Even though I don't get to hold or pet her often, I still enjoy seeing her on the porch and she likes to hang out with us while we work in the yard.
