Hi there--

Girly--is a tortie cat--lol I read this morning about the temperments of
torie cats--I had no idea.  She was a feral cat-so add that in with the
tortitude--it all makes sense!

I read where it said tortie is a coloring and not a breed.  Not sure what
breed she is.  She is a very long cat and somewhat thin by nature--I think.
She has a somewhat small head--but looks like a 'normal cat'--by that I mean--
no wild eye colors, no unusual ear shape, etc.  How would I learn what breed
she is?  Girly is very curious by nature.  She is a shy animal during the day-
-sleeps quite a bit and rarely eats, movies, ventures out during the day--but
at 5:00 p.m.--I call this the 'witching hour'--she becomes a completely
different cat--you can tell that she would be quite the huntress.  Will play
with dangling toys for over an hour or longer--not really interested in a
laser light--loves to hunt things.  She has found my stone and crystals--each
morning one will be gone--and the game is for me to see which item is missing-
-ironically I have never found any of the missing items--and I have cleaned
the apt. top to bottom and have yet to find any of her 'finds'.

Now to Spot--For a while I thought Spot was a tabby--but I wasn't finding
pictures that matched him--he has like three colors--and a lot of white--the
colors seem to run from his face over his back and sides--his belly, under
his chin/neck are white.  His coloriing isn't in stripes--but like patches--
as far as I can tell he is calico--but I thought I read somewhere that
calico's were females?  Also, to his breed--he is a tall and long cat--with a
large lion-like face--a beautiful cat.  He is a big boy--somewhat similar
body style to the main (is that correct spelling) cat--but not as big as some
of the pictures I have seen.  He weighs 14 lbs--but isn't overweight.  He has
the fur and texture--I would guess close to a rabbit--very thick and lush--
the white hair is a bit longer and softer than the colored parts--he has lots
and lots of fur--and sheds like there is no tomorrow.  His temperment is
pretty easy going--a bit indifferent--but is really a big lovey.  He will
groom me when I pet him.  His favorite thing to do is sleep.  He enjoys every
moment of sleep.  Isn't that active--will occassionally swat at a toy or
chase a laser light--but that is it as far as his activity or interest goes.

I don't have a digital camera as of yet--sorry about that.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jen
