Our Juju

Juju (on the floor), and The Princess enjoy a bit of catnip

Juju came into our lives on June 18, 1999, one of a litter of five, most of which were born on our bed. She and her siblings share Russ' birthday, which is how I remember the day, and it was only a month after moving to our new home, which is how I remember the year. Unfortunately, we lost poor Juju, probably to cancer, on December 02, 2008.
Beautifully marked, with "points" like Siamese have, and her black paws and "grizzled" fur, she was a sight. She had a medium-long coat that was the softest I've ever felt on a cat. She was also very vocal and lived for attention. She loved her humans. She did NOT, however, love her "sister", The Princess, also shown in this picture. She gave The Princess a run for her money. I believe Juju was lusting after The Princess' throne. I miss our semi-sweet baby.
