Shirley


Shirley, originally uploaded by fe.meow.

This is Shirley. I got her as a little kitten from the cat shelter. She had been dumped, and was tiny and skinny and scared. Now look at her with her woolly winter coat on - so brave and pretty. I named her after the Billy Bragg song 'Shirley' (otherwise known as 'Greetings to the New Brunette') but she most often gets called Shirley Ding Dong for some bizarre reason. She lives at my sister's now. She likes playing with the leaves and running around in the paddocks. Since I moved into the city I miss her a lot, but she is not used to the road, so she couldn't come with. She's a country cat (who wears a bell and is not outside after dark so she doesn't kill native things, I promise)
