Gabrielle was hand-raised, although not by us.  But, she acts with us just like our other hand-raised children.  I truly believe she knows we're her parents.

She was abandoned in someone's driveway when she was about 2-1/2 weeks old.  They're not sure what really happened, but from what I understand, they think someone literally tossed her out of a moving car.  She was very scabby when we got her.  She was about 6 weeks old.

Gabrielle has calci-virus like Bobbi & Danielle.  Her little eyes water all the time.  She appears to have quite a bit of Maine Coon in her, but whatever else is mixed in there has to be a very small cat.
Gabrielle is tiny!

Gabi's extremely affectionate.  She's also very funny.  If EJ or I sing, Gabi runs around "attacking" her siblings.  She especially likes to attack Jazzy.  She used to get in my face & "sing" with me.  Gabi's also a digger.  She likes to "dig" at the mirrors & at our French door to our computer room.  She sits on the other side of it & just digs until one of us lets her in.  Ha!

Gabrielle's one of our most social cats.  Many of our cats don't care too much for company.  Gabi will climb right up into their laps...especially if she thinks they'll pet her.  Ha!

Toby & JoJo aren't litter mates, but they both came from our neighborhood within a few very short months of each other.  They were both strays, both starving & both in desperate need of neutering!  Originally, we were looking for homes for them each, but no one offered them a home.  So, they came back to live with us after lengthy stays at the vet's.  We don't regret it AT ALL!

Toby has a very raspy voice.  He loves everyone & everything.  He's addicted to bathing his siblings & if we let him, us too!  Unfortunately, Toby's tongue is extremely rough...even for a cat!  Him & Gabrielle are little "love birds."  They are always laying around together & grooming each other.
Toby is also very close with JoJo.

JoJo is Daddy's boy.  He use to bury his little face in EJ's hair while he kneaded EJ's neck & shoulders.  Then JoJo would fall asleep in that position.  It was adorable.  EJ used to have long hair.  After the grill blew up in his face & he had to cut his hair, JoJo quit it.  However, JoJo discovered Jazzy's hair & now kneads on her back & belly & then goes to sleep with his head buried in her hair!  It's something to see!
