Owner: Lynne
About Me: My peeps (that's "people" to those of you who don't speak hepcat) picked me out of the line-up at the Humane Society in November of 2006. Can't say much about my life on the outside. Can't. Won't. Same difference. Anyway, my peeps sprung me from the joint. Which was good since I don't like being around other animals, and I was known to have something of a bad cat-itude. Spent some time on the Row - if you know what I mean. When I went in, my name was "Sugar." When I came out, I adopted a new name - and a new attitude - along with my new family.
