Gabriel was just a little kitten living in Virginia last year at this time.  I don’t know his exact circumstances, but I’m sure life was difficult for him and his brothers and sisters.  They were given up for adoption in November and Gabriel found his way to Siamese Cat Rescue Center and eventually to his forever home with us.  Now he loves to sit by the window and watch the falling leaves.  As soon as dawn breaks, he runs to the window and his little head moves from side to side as he watches leaves float from the big oak trees in the yard.  He paws at the glass in an attempt to catch them.  I wonder if he chased leaves when he was living outside on those cold late Fall days last year in Virginia?  Now he is content to watch from his safe spot indoors on the window sill or on one of our cat perches.  His brother and sister often join him.  Above is one of his favorite spots in the big dining room window.  Below is a photo of him sitting by the French doors and showing off his beautiful blue eyes.  No, there was no Photoshop involved in enhancing the color.  His eyes are really that blue!
