Venus Williams Kim

Last Saturday Kori and I went to take a second look at a cat I met two weekends ago at the SPCA. The first time I saw Stella, she was very chatty and friendly, constantly rubbing her head against my hand. She is 11 months old and about 6 pounds. When I met her again, she was just as adorable and so I knew I had to adopt her. Her name now is Venus, after Venus Williams. Since Lindsay is named after Lindsay Davenport, I said to myself that the next cat I get would be Davenport's rival, Venus. Kind of a weird coincidence that Venus Kim and Venus Williams are black... er... Alecia took a video soon after she got home. Needless to say, Lindsay is NOT happy at all. Poor Linds. I have Venus confined to the bathroom until she can get adjusted.
