Do you want her? OK, bye!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She ran off a couple weeks ago, and stayed gone a long time.\u00a0\u00a0My friend\u00a0was worried that she might run off again, so when they did find her, she was brought over right away, to my house, where she seems pretty content to have the place to herself for the most part.<\/p>\n<p>If you are on Facebook, here are photos of her, for you to look at and comment on.<\/p>\n<p>If not, here they are:<\/p>\n<p>She decided one night, to be so bold as to jump up onto my hi-top kitchen table.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kissmysass.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/0914090053-00-225x300.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Sassy girl on my table<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kissmysass.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/0914090054-00-300x225.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Look at that pouty puss!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Queen is a little rough around the edges, as she was really matted (being a Persian, they are prone to that sometimes).
