About Nutmeg

Nutmeg was our second kitten, and is an orange calico. We named her Nutmeg because we were thinking of keeping the spice theme with our cat names.

Nutmeg is very sweet. She is especially cute when I get my shower ready in the morning. I'll start the water, and she'll go up to the tub, stand up on her hind legs, put her front paws up on the side of the tub, and look into it. She's also our little ball player. Whenever Tom eats a chocolate bar, he'll ball up the foil wrapper and throw it. Nutmeg will run after the ball and usually brings it back. She'll even find her little balls at the oddest times of the day, and bring them to us to play with her.
