I've heard that cats are hard to adjust to new places, so that's good. I always enjoyed renting in households that had permanent resident pets.

I lived in a place that had a brown lab called Argus, a tortoise, and maybe a cat, can't remember. The tortoise would spend his time in the garden or some corner of the terrace.

I'm sure there was a cat to keep out the mice.

Speaking of stripes on a cat, I saw a cat with gray and silver stripes on its head and shoulders, and then fluffy mixed gray fur on the rest of it. I never saw a cat with half/half before.

Unless it was a sliver striped cat that got its butt in a cinder pile. I think it was a wild cat in Austin by the bushy tail and unkempt air. A survivor from our coyotes.

that sounds like a typical russian blue cross

i had one like that, he had a lot of white, and silver, and grey, i called him "Hochi" and he was born in my apartment as i brought the mother in knowing she was pregnant and she was half or quarter russian... this was not long after a lot of ukrainians had showed up in Varna when i was there

i decided to leave Hochi to the neighbourhood also... his two siblings both died very early because i didn't know how important it was to keep them warm, i could have i just didn't know, i was too nervous about mamma being anxious but ... oh well... the two carcasses got stuck in the freezer and when solid were sent out to a sailor's grave in the black sea, poor dears

russian blue cats are a distinct colour but it is a variant of grey, there is also many multicolour breeds, but mostly black and red is definitely almost always female, same as your classic tourtoiseshell

In the freezer, ey. I don't know how you wrench out a chuckle from unknown corners of my sense of humor.

i had two little helpless animals basically die of hypothermia in my house two years ago, and that was 6 months after having a cat die next to me while i was trying to keep it alive after a paralysis tick

i refuse to die, at this point, and so when things seem rough, i try to chuckle, and when things are ok, i make wry jokes and see the irony in everything

gonna try to do my best to be a joker anyway, i was quite proud to get on a list called "jester" recently... people like to read my stuff because in between the wtf is lots of silly lols
