			Cylbe (Sil-bee) 
 Stands for "cute young little bugger"- I acquired her 6 years ago 
			from a wonderful family that has just had a child with "special 
			needs". Needless to say - they needed to find good homes for their 4 
			cats and were sorry to see all of them go - especially her.
 
 They found Cylbe on a busy street corner when she was approximately 
			3 week old. She was making such a racket that his wife heard her 
			cries.

          |  | She probably had been starving for days. Her lack of nutrition 
			contributed to her small thin tail and a very small head. Whatever 
			deficiencies she had - she more than made up for it with her big 
			heart. However, during that time she definitely made up for lost 
			time and when I met her - she was 13 + pounds!!! I would describe 
			her as my "little orange bowling ball with toothpick legs". She 
			became my official greeter to me and to all who came to the house. 
			She found every "sun beam" or warm spot to be found. She enjoyed a 
			good piece of string or ribbon that was dangled in front of her :) 
			Definitely one of our fondest memories - is she had a thing for 
			socks. She would find a sock whether on the floor, clothes basket 
			and where ever we were she would come down and drop it and "meow" - 
			it was her best treasure of the day!!! However, we would never ever 
			see her carting the sock around.
 Best of all - she always was where you were and we just loved that! 
			Whether you were reading, playing the piano, sleeping - there was 
			something "special" about her presence. Everyone who met her felt 
			that also
 
 We were blessed to have such a wonderful family member - she will be 
			with us always.
