Shiva came to us completely out of the blue, and fit in the palms of my hands.  He was immediately welcomed into the family and soon became the favorite companion of my then 5 year old son.  To date his weight ranges around 12 - 13 lbs., though he's not fat he's just LONG.  He can wake you from a deep sleep with his throaty siamese like yowl, and he is incredibly attached to our other cat, an older shelter rescue named Punkin.  His clear blue eyes catch you at any time with ultimate curiosity and equal intensity.  He always has to be where you are, no matter the time of day.  His snow white coat is only accented by his pink ears which pick up EVERYTHING.  All in all, he's a brat, but he deserves to be.
