I'll send out some Pebbles-love! She's just so GORGEOUS!
I've been remembering that Cha-Cha, (who is sleeping happily on the couch, and still very healthy) still won't live forever (she's probably 15 now?)... and something about calico cats has been a draw in the back of my mind for the "future cat"... remembering some really sweet calico cats on my grandparents' farm. I guess I'm always a female-kitty fan too.
As for that far off "future cat" though -- I'll probably have little say in that given Little E's headstrong nature. She already happily claimed Mr. Big as "my kitty" earlier this week (though really he's our M's kitty... although M is any for the summer), but said she wanted "THREE kitties". I wouldn't be surprised if she tries bringing in all the feral cats before she's age 5). She is getting really sweet though. Yesterday when we came in from being outside, she gave Mr. Big two light gentle kisses... "Kiss Mis-ter Big." How will I be able to say no?
