Rod and Margie Saxby sort of got their cat Kiki by accident. She's six and half years old but, "We don't know much about her because actually we were sitting in the back yard and she wandered in and sat on Rod's lap. We asked all the neighbors and kept asking but nobody claimed her so she and Rod just had a relationship and that's been it from then on."

The couple has never had animals aside from a dog for a short period but "We just love her. She's the 'cat's meow' you might say," said Margie laughing, "and she just adores Rod."

"She comes in and wakes me up in the morning with her paws and we go out together and eat something, both of us and that's the start of our day," Rod explained.

The couple describe Kiki as a, "very good mouser," who brings her catch into the house, plays with them a bit and then kills them. "You usually find pieces of a mouse around," said Rod. "She's very quick."

They both claim that Kiki has what they regard as a psychic ability. "When Rod comes home or when we pull up in the car, it doesn't matter where she is she comes right to the car. I think she has ESP. She waits for us."

"We thought she knew the color of the car or the car itself but the other day we just drove by to go to Target but she didn't really recognize the car. But she's there every day when we pull up." said Margie.
