She definitely chose you! ❤️. Took one of our 13-year-old 🤡s to the vet this morning for dental cleaning. Whiskey sang the song of his people the whole way there, naturally. I again swore to myself that after my current crop of 4 cats have passed on from this realm, it will be some time before I get another - if ever. The vet bills for the last few years have been off the charts, and we lost one kitty to a coyote last fall (my very first Substack post is about him). And then of course I come home and read your column and am reminded all over again of why we fall in love with these silly little creatures to begin with. 🥰

I know what you mean about vet bills! I always say no more, but then there’s another.

Very sweet. We found a newborn kitten under our shrubs earlier this summer. It took me a while to track down where the cries for help were coming from. It's eyes had not yet opened. Luckily, our neighbor is good with cats. She took the kitten in, took her to the vet and bootle feeds her.

Yay, a new baby! Collette, Lucky you. Kitty looks like it is some kind of mix.

I have cornish rex kitties and the top of their head, especially Prinnie's, has the row of wrinkles across from ear to ear.

She is adorable. The fur appears to be all guard hair? Is that was makes it squirrel coat? or is the fur soft with no guard hair?

I understand your hubbs concerns, but you rescued her. If need be, she can always be "re homed"

She is a gem.

Thanks! Cornish rex is pretty neat. They seem like they’d be fun. All of ours are mutts, except one, orange maine coon.

The kitten, her fur is short and soft, no guard hair. Hubby has changed his mind, she’s very sweet and knows exactly how to snuggle. She’s a keeper! She’s doing really well walking with the harness and the other cats don’t seem to mind her.

no guard hair. Well then. That is interesting.

Perhaps with that pixie face she has a little Devon Rex in her.

Cornish Rex are everywhere in the house. Sometimes I think I have 7 cats.,

Enjoy her Collette and I am so happy she found you and hubby
