And here is Saddie, aka “Saddie Lynn”. She is six years old and the matriarch of the group. She is the most snuggly, the quietest, the most laid-back kitty in the household. Nothing ever seems to get her down or annoyed. When she wants attention, she gives you a particular look (captured here) that questions, “Are you looking at me? Do you want to pet me? Can I come over there? Now, please? Yes? Maybe?”

If there is room (She’s a chubby kitty—she definitely needs room)—she will nonchalantly meander her way over to you and gently jump up next to you and lay down, waiting on your response. If you casually ignore her, she ooooh so gently creeps her way up closer and closer. It’s a strategy of hers. Move closer. Stop. Wait. Move closer. Stop. Wait, and so on, until she can nudge her nose under your hand or paw at you to reach over and start petting her. If that works, she will be in your lap in no time. Unlike her brother Smokey who waits for nothing and is the pushiest of all the cats.

Saddie gets along with all the kitties! She is a groomer and will groom all of them. She likes to snuggle with all of them. Even tries to snuggle with Oliver occasionally if he lets her get that close. She definitely seems to have some mothering instincts in her. She is the loviest of the kitties.
