In November 2012 we acquired a new family member, a kitten David named Boston Blackie. She's awfully cute.
We adopted her from Northeast Animal Shelter, an excellent "no-kill" facility right here in Salem. She was only about 8 weeks old, as far as we could tell. Boston Blackie has a sunny, outgoing disposition, a lovely purr and a healthy appetite. She's sleek and all black, which makes it hard to take a good picture of her. Photos tend to come out looking like ink blots.
Two and a half years later (mid-2015) still has a healthy appetite, and starting to be a bit more padded than she used to be, but still has a pantherish look about her if you ignore the incredibly short atten… wait, was that a bug?
