In September 2003 Pixel and two other kittens were found in the parking lot of the hospital where I work. With Hurricane Isabel approaching I sweet-talked my husband into bringing one home. The other two kittens went home with another nurse and are now named Fric and Frac.
Pixel's mother was feral and could not be caught, so we fed her meow mix everyday. She had a second litter of three, however none of them survived their first few months of existence. Tragically the mother went through all nine of her lives in an unfortunate encounter with a car engine while napping.

Pixel will be one year old in August. She is still finding her place amongst pecking order of the household but seems content nonetheless.
