I found Maya at the same pet store I found Chloe. I hadn't planned on getting another kitten, but one Saturday morning about 4 months after I got Chloe, I stopped by the store just to look. Of course, they had kittens, and an unusually colored one immediately caught my eye. I brought her home to meet Chloe, who adored "her" new baby. Maya was so tiny; as you can see below.
Being a tortie, Maya can be cantankerous at times. She gets mad and frowns at me if she doesn't get her way. She loves sleeping under the comforter and will stay there for hours. I wonder how she can breath! At nighttime, she sleeps on my back. I guess she thinks of me as her personal heating pad!
* I almost always call Maya by this name now...I don't remember when I first started calling her that...probably a shortened version of "Snickers"!
Look at what Maya won!
