You can tell Amelie is watchful, eyes wide open and ear turned to catch some sound... but she's also relaxed, with her paw out. She feels comfortable but she wants to know what's going on.

My Tiny is also a rescued semiferal. I took him off the street when he was nine months old and he didn't really trust me at first, but once he realized I was a big but predictable source of food, he started coming for cuddles. Nowadays he even lets me clip his claws! At first I thought he was all feral, but he must have been born to a house cat and had some exposure to humans as a kitten, or he wouldn't have learned me so fast.

Thank you, I think she did apart from those few years when her sister took over and bullied her. She was such a relaxed cat after her sister was gone that I knew she was happy. She deserved those years on her own.

Almost 22? How wonderful to have so many years with her!

Jake taking selfies all on his own, what a clever boy!!!!  
   
​  Pretty green eyes too :-)


I hope you guys get a good few years in too, Pal made it to the late December and would have been 22 at the begining of the following April but she was too tired to make another birthday.  Yes, the time was really special.  I met 2 elderly sisters once who had a lovely cat aged 24 that still looked like a kitten.  She followed the sisters about everywhere in the house - managing stairs, getting up and down off their beds - everything. They swore the secret was TLC, and the cat had one of them get up every morning, climb in to the other sister's bed and then the cat would snuggle up between the two of them and purr like crazy!  The cat would miaw and paw at them until they did this every single day.  What a precious household that was, I will always remember them and I still have a clear vision of that cat some 20 years on!

 This is one of those accidental photos, but I think it's cool...................This is the actual photo, no changes.......
   I've got one of baby Mouse a bit like that! Who walked in to the camera right before the flash went off?! 
    Nice one!
