Salt and Katie are the fictional representatives of two of the first cats to come to North America, and thus the ancestors of the domestic cats living here today. Their story is told in Salt and the Sea Venture. If you believe your cat is a descendant, e-mail me a picture, and a bio of your cat to mgill0627@aol.com. I'd like to feature them on the blog, and may even immortalize them in a future book.

Really how could you find a more perfect Descendant?

Cece is an all-white cat, just like Salt from Salt and the Sea Venture.

This beautiful girl is just over 3 years old. Isn't she lovely. Look at those eyes and that darling pink nose.  She is currently available for adoption at Wayside Waifs. If you're in the area, take a look at this snow white beauty, or any of the other cats at the shelter.
