Let me introduce you all to my cat Ruca. She is a 16 year old long-haired calico, born
I've known Ruca since she was a kitten-fetus in mama Morrison's womb. I was there the day she was born. Her name comes from the flower meaning, 瑠羽華 as in beautifully colored (because she is the most beauitful calico girl in the world). She was eight weeks old when I snuck her into our house in my younger sister's purse. This ended up being a little too soon- if we had known better, Ruca could have probably used at least another two weeks with her mama and litter mates.
