I first saw Snowball outside a friend's window on Christmas Eve 2005. She was laying curled up in a tight ball out in the freezing cold and snowy weather. I could offer her only a sheet of newspaper and some food as my friend has a cat and we could not bring her inside for fear that she may be very sick and infect my friend's cat. She had a severe eye infection and lost her left eye, I know she was my Christmas present from God that year and I am eternally greatfull for her. She's such a delight and quite a character. She gives the best kitty kisses and is my constant companion. When I took her to the vet, I wasn't sure if this tiny kitten was a boy or a girl. When the vet said, "It's a Girl", I felt like a mother who had just given birth!. I know God works in mysterious ways, what a wonderful "gift" he bestowed unto me that blessed Christmas Eve.
