We are the Mackechnies and our loving, sweet cat is Luna. She is very funny, cute, fluffy and an extremely “influential” family member since adopt ed 3 years ago. She’s always hungry, nips at us and usually gets what she wants. She jumps, plays soccer with us in our basement, and is always in quisitive. Like her human dad, she goes bananas when a full moon is out. She’s the best, so we’re bananas for her.
