Emma is a different sort of hybrid: she is part Maine Coon and part Ragdoll. Tom and I drove to northern Indiana on Christmas day 16 years ago to pick up Emma and her sister, Sissy. They were definitely an impulse purchase, and a spontaneous ten-hour journey that we remember with joy. It makes a great story: there were no restaurants open, we didn't pack food, and there was only one hotdog left at the gas station…good times. Both kitties are still with us and doing well.
