Angel 2015

I re-named her Lark after her adoption, after a character from one of my favorite childhood books, and because I loved the symbolism, since larks have long been associated with new beginnings. Lark is doing spectacularly--I absolutely love her, and I couldn't ask for a better buddy. She has so much life, curiosity, and character and, despite the fact that she was nearly silent our first week together, she's become quite talkative as she has settled in and gotten comfortable! We now have long conversations--if only I could speak cat! She loves to snuggle on the couch with me while I'm working from home studying Arabic, and she has some hilarious quirks--one of which is that she is fascinated by and absolutely loves seltzer. I tried putting the seltzer in a cup with a lid and a straw, thinking that would protect my seltzer from my determined cat, however, it only took Lark two days to figure out how to operate a straw!
