Welcome Fionka!

Yesterday morning, I visited the Al Ain National Museum with my visiting mother. As my mom and I left the building in search of the falaj irrigation system we were told was near the building, we were immediately approached by the kitty pictured above and distracted completely.

Fionka (sounds like Bianca) is now in my home. This tiny bundle of enormous amounts of energy and purr-power will certainly be a happy addition to my life. Now, I just have to take her to the vet to make sure she's healthy.

Fionka is my version of the name that the two Egyptian guards at the museum gate had been calling her. She might have whiskers to rival my US cat, Emma; she is too small to tell yet. However, she certainly the biggest ears of any feline I've ever known! Her head is about the size of a plum!
