Hildegard, along with her adopted twin Quebecoise, came to us at an age of about three months from the Muscatine, Iowa Humane Society, where Kenlyn's sister worked. The two kittens had been found on the street together and spent over a month in a cage together. They were supposed to replace the sweet Clarissa, who had been hit by a car eighteen days earlier. Instead, they were trouble from the start. Hildegard bears a certain resemblance to Clarissa--physically. She's full-grown but still quite small. Hildy is a sweet cat who never conceals her emotions. She and her pal Q have no sense of boundary between them.
