Live-ish report
How Baby came home
Baby began life with an unknown history. Animal control called her Alex, and the shelter later called her Tulip.
After Zo saw her adoption photos, there was one cat they especially wanted to meet. Baby was found sleeping beneath an enclosed bench. Once the petting began, so did the spinning.
She continued spinning during the adoption paperwork, as though she had already decided she was coming home.
Essential information
Photographic evidence
Classified household knowledge
Baby’s ongoing campaign to occupy Zo’s desk chair moments before Zo reaches it.
A term of endearment reserved for small and exceptionally cute beings.
Only the best food for the queen.
Constantly expressive, perpetually in motion, and occasionally wagging like a dog’s.
Final ruling
Once, she was Alex. Then Tulip. Then a cat sleeping beneath a shelter bench. Now she is Baby: beloved, unmistakable, and home.
