The First Generation

Click here for more photos of Priscilla Priscilla Prissy actually showed up before Thomas.  She just appeared here on the farm during the fall of 1983.  When I moved back to the farm, she moved indoors - and was an in/out cat from that time until her last year, when she moved indoors permanently.
