My mom's latest addition...

This is EVA, I call her "Eva Believa". This is my mom's new kitty. I met the Ragdoll breeder and picked Eva up today. Tomorrow Eva will be traveling to Greers Ferry, Arkansas. Eva will be a great companion for my mom. She's a very sweet kitty. Kathy and I met and drove Eva to Ontario Airport for her long airplane ride to Arkansas.
