You might remember that we helped get Summer into the Mansion several years ago; we paid for all of the necessary shots and medical checks she needed for the state to allow it.

She is a Mansion Cat through and through.

Summer has settled in beautifully and is much loved. She ran headline into Zinnia this morning, and they just walked right by one another without incident.

Zinnia clearly didn’t want to mess with her; she’s a hard-ass cat.

Summer sits by the door when she wants to come in and considers every one of the Mansion beds hers when she wants to lie in them.

As I did this morning, I will often walk down a corridor and see Summer making herself at home.

People come and go at the Mansion for various reasons, and Summer has learned to take this in stride.

If a room she likes is suddenly empty, she finds another one, or sits on a windowsill soaking up the sun. Nothing seems to rattle her. It was a good match.
