Playing with kitty!!

While crocheting last night i had my feet propped on a box and kept felling this wierd feeling on my toes,i looked down and what do i see ??My big fat kitty staring back at me,she had gotten in the box while i wasnt looking and did not like the fact that mom was ignoring her.Her past time is getting into small spaces and in my yarn bags.She is up to 17 pounds now,what a fatty and we love every inch of that fat.
