July Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Cute Creatures”
Don’t my eyes match the garden?
Miss Uma, our glamour girl, arrived in our lives as a little bundle of elegant fluff. She was born in a dorm room full of girls, who coddled her from her earliest moments. Her mother was a rescue kitty whom the college girls had snuck inside— but they didn’t know that she was pregnant.

She was about a year old in this photo. She’s just about to turn ten in a few weeks. Most mornings, I wake up with Uma either purring on my chest or asleep at my feet. She has a bit of rivalry going…
