Introducing Estrella Rufasina...aka Lil' D

So, a few weeks ago, I went to the animal shelter in Westbrook. I was in love with a cat named Little Debbie, whose photo was up on their website. But when I got there, I was told she'd been adopted! I was crestfallen. I'd foolishy already made plans for her, how I'd call her Lil' D. I looked at a few of the other cats, but none of them were as cute as Little Debbie.

Cut to a few weeks later, when I'd returned from a few trips to NYC, and was planning on being in my apartment for an indefinite period of time and I could really help a new cat settle in. I went back to the shelter with N, thinking I'd just be looking, and lo and behold, there was Little D! I guess she never was adopted. Now she's mine, all mine, and you can just how cute she is from these pics. As for her name, Lil' D isn't really sticking. Neither is Rufasina, an homage to Rufus Wildman, my step-cat of the last year. So now I'm trying out Estrella, Spanish for "star," which also sounds a bit like Stray, which is what Lil' D/Rufasina/Estrella was until Monday! Note her double paws, front and back!
