We said goodbye to our beloved Schrödinger on June 25. He had a long battle with autoimmune stomatitis. For several years we were able to manage it with a regimen of medication and diet, since he wasn't a candidate for full mouth extractions, due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. But this horrible...

Well-- Rain is now 7 months old and today she weighed in at 6 pounds, 13 ounces, so ALMOST 7 pounds! This little one is growing up so nicely! I can feel her muscles are coming in, but she's still got that little bit of a lanky adolescent look with long legs and a youthful head! She's also really...

No... I got sick, so we didn't make it there. Maybe next time!

I call Rain silly names like "Prrip" because of the cute little sound that she makes... (the rr is trilled, like a Spanish double R).. She has a regular kitty meow, but she also walks around going "Prrip, prrip"! I call her "Sandpaper" because she LOVES to give me sandpaper kisses! She now...

@GoldyCat Ozark Cat Fanciers in Mesquite, TX on January 18-19 (if I'm over my health glitches, that is!) I wanted to make the Houston show on the 11th for Rain's Agility debut, but that is probably not going to happen! https://www.cfagulfshore.org/flyers/2020/Ozark01-20 flyer.pdf

Rain is now about 5 and a half months old and having another growth spurt. Today she weighs 5 lbs. 6.3 oz. She's a Domestic Medium Hair, so we really have no idea on her genetics! She's growing pretty quickly again. But we have had BIG cats and LITTLE cats, and in-between cats. Who wants to...

Wow! Congratulations! I had planned to show Rain in her first HHP show this weekend, but unfortunately I managed to injure my bad knee again, and then got a respiratory bug so we're waiting until January for her "debut". Rain's "Official" name is Rainfeather. We're fans of the "Warriors" kids'...

Well... Rain IS almost an adolescent now, at 5 months! 😆

Well, a YouTube addict! She was getting a little too energetic the other day, and I had work to do. I had been playing with her all morning, and now it was time to do housework. But she was into EVERYTHING when I wasn't giving her my undivided attention. Even her toy mouse wasn't a long enough...

Rain licks me, too. We call it "Sandpaper Kisses". She comes up to me, puts her little paws up to my shoulders like a hug and starts licking on my nose, chin and forehead. I do wash my face immediately after she's done, but with her, I'm sure it's affection. She used to nibble and bite, but I...

Rain is then a solid blue, not smoke. 🙂 I'm much more accustomed to our colorpoints. It's been a very long time since we've had anything BUT colorpoints, so classifying solids and other patterns besides tabbies or tortoiseshells is a bit different for me! Kepler and Kirchen were blue point...

Without a confirmed pedigree, the only answer anyone can give you is this: Your cat is a handsome blue (gray) domestic short-haired cat with gorgeous green eyes. 🥰

Thanks... and from what I've read on CFA, it can sometimes be hard to ascertain in kittens anyway, until the adult coat is in. She just turned 5 calendar months (we think), so she still has a lot of her kitten coat left. Whatever kind of blue she is, it's beautiful. We love all kinds of blue...

That handsome guy looks to me like he has some Persian/Himalayan (aka colorpoint Persian) in his family tree, and Ragdoll isn't out of the question, either. But having had several registered Himalayans/colorpoint Persians (including one that was ACFA registered as a 'self colored black...

She is definitely "Blue" (gray)... but is she "Blue something"... other than just solid blue? When her hair lays flat, it looks at first glance like it's just solid blue, but when it parts over a joint, or when I lift it up, it's much lighter underneath. In sunlight, it sort of takes on a light...
