New Kid on the Farm

There is a new kitty hanging out at the farm. She's a petite white kitty with a grey ringtail and splashes of dark grey on her ears, but her most striking trait is her eyes. The right eye is brilliant blue, the left one - under the biggest patch of grey - is yellow-green. She's beautiful, and friendly, and sweet, and loving. She has followed me around for two days now, where ever I roam on our property, although she doesn't like the long grass and she carefully picks her way through it. She came to us with a collar and a bell. I personally think a bell is the most undignified thing to do to a cat. It just screams 'coyote food'. She's obviously a housecat. She loves to be picked up and carried around. She is starved for love. She has fleas.
We have put up a sign at the corner store, so I hope we find her family. Another recent loiterer, Yellow Cat, is male and has taken quite an interest in her. I am quite sure he's very much unneutered, since he's a farm cat on the loose kind of character. I checked her over, and from what I can tell, she's not spayed, either. Dangit. We're going to have to do something about that if she's still hanging out waiting to be petted when we return home from Mexico. Just so that you can bask in her cuteness, I snapped a picture of her face when she tried to climb my leg the other day, check it out at the left there. I call her Scoop because she's pretty irresistable, and you just want to scoop her up and love on her when you meet her. Also, she seems like a small scoop of something sweet. So, Scoop.
