We've Added To the Family!

No, not another kid.  We've adopted a cat.  We had been fostering her, but Maria the WonderCat is now officially a full time member of the family. 
I have to say she is a pretty damn cool cat.  She harrasses poor Nibbles the Amazing Guinea Pig (we have very special pets in this house) by sleeping on his cage.  She talks back to us constantly, earning the nick name Senorita Sassy Pants and has recently discovered the kitchen counters.
And she was born without eyes.  Yup. She is totally and completely 100% blind.  Which means she occasionally bumps into walls, and while she has discovered the counters, she doesn't quite understand what happens once she gets up there and can't figure out how to get down. 
Eyes or no eyes, she is the cutest thing on earth and about the most social, friendly cat I have ever known.  You can follow her adventures with our nutty family on Twitter at Mariatwondercat.  She tells me she would like to usurp that damn Bronx Zoo Cobra as the coolest non-human on Twitter.  You gotta like a girl with goals...
