“Good day, people, good day! I am called Nimbus for my careful greyness, but my friends – and some deities – call me Cloud Girl. I am soft and grey with good white feet and twinkly green eyes. Some people say I am a kachina – Cloud Girl Kachina. I say I am a gentle cat with some sacred powers. I may bring rain for your crops. I will surely sit serenely and let you feel my powers.”

“It is true – the sun and the moon and the stars sing to me. I, in turn, sing to them, purring softly to the universe around me. I take good care of me, and I will take good care of my people – as soon as I find you. I hope I find you today. I am Cloud Girl – Nimbus, and I am waiting for my home.”

“I am old enough to make good decisions and not go scuttling into walls like a kitten. I am young enough to twinkle my eyes at the sight of a feather toy or a bug. Real bugs, watch out, Nimbus likes to swing her paws at you! I am fond of tuna, soft beds, people who love me, and a nice lazy afternoon for lying in a warm window and admiring the sky.”

“I am old enough to be round enough to Do the Meat Loaf very well. One needs to be a bit round, tucking ones feet all under and sitting very still. Only a serene Cat can Do the Meat Loaf. I am also young enough to unpack the Meat Loaf and fly across the room to eat good fresh cat food.”
