Elsa Jane

We got Elsa Jane and her sister, Eleanor, as young cats.  They were past the aww stage of kittendom, but were still sort of little.  We adopted them while we still lived in the apartment on Grand.  We already had Sophie and I am not really sure what made us think that two more cats were a necessity, but apparently it was.  So we got two more kitties.
Eleanor was black and white.  Elsa all black.  Both polydactyl.  Eleanor had a potty problem and could not continue to live with us after she ruined our leather couch and chair.  Now, I am not one to give up on animals quickly, but a cat that likes to pick her own potty spot is a problem that is hard to overcome.  The vet would not keep her on the medicine that helped the problem (because it could cause other problems) so she had to go back to the place hence she came. 
Elsa did not have a potty problem so she got to stay.
Elsa Jane, or Janie, as she is often called is the most exotic of our kitties.  She is all shiny black. In the dark, she is invisible.   
She is here on me now as I attempt to type.  She purrs loudly as if to drown out the typing sound.  She is not very affectionate so I feel extra special when she wants the love.  Kneading my tummy and rubbing up against my hand.  I have to keep correcting her/my typing errors.
Elsa, with her extra toes on all her paws, is a bit of a loner.  She is often found in the folds of a comforter on someones bed.  Where Sophie seeks out the comfort of another, Elsa enjoys the solitude. 
Elsa smokes a pack of Camel unfiltered a day.  Or at least that is what it sounds like when she meows.  It is all raspy and kind of bitchy like.  Even when she is trying to be sweet, she sounds like a crab. 
Emmitt, our other cat, is sometimes allowed to hang out with Elsa.  Elsa doesn't like us to see this side of her so when we happen to walk in on the two of them hanging out, one of them (Emmitt) quickly leaves.  It makes me smile to think of this cat with her street smart attitude hanging out with the sweater vest cat.
Elsa is Jacob's girl.  She hangs out in his room.  Comes around to rub against his leg.  She is also buddies with Harlow.  Elsa doesn't show her soft side to too many people.  Especially if those people are little. 
Our Elsa, with her disdain for most, is so sweet to us.  She may appear to be mean or aloof, but she is just misunderstood.  She loves her Jacob, her rolls in the sun, her treats and her alone time.
