Yes they are special Mary, I understand how much you miss them, and each one has their own unique personality, I think when you love animals they really become like our children,,,and that's why if you get me talking on them...I get carried away!

Thank you for Blue Boy ;-)

What a beautiful story about your Russian Blue cat, skip. My black and white cat has a beautiful voice too, so I know what you mean when you say that about yours. And to live up to 15 years of age too. I had a cat that passed on at age 18. She was tortoiseshell also. And I had a grey tortoiseshell that passed on from cancer. I miss them both dearly.Cats are so special and I love them all, whether wild or domestic.

That´s sweet Skip :-) I´m happy that you have such good memories of it ...

Now will you stop pulling my leg? ;-) :P (just kidding)

Yes Connie, this cat is for you ;-)

Is that my cat...the one I asked you for? Either way....I'll call it Blue Boy.

Yes he had attitude, and he really lived up to his name, which was sassy,...he liked to come up behind me an bite me when I wasen't looking, it would never hurt, but it was cute how he liked to surprise me, and he had the cutest voice you ever heard from a cat, it was like he said everything with enthusiasim...like the difference from somebody saying hello, or saying Hello!! I could go on, but I better not! :)

He must have been really special to you...it really looks like they´re good natured, full of attitude, but a good one. Thanks Skip :-)

Love this cat jujuba! especially since I had a cat just like this, he lived to fifteen, and was one of the smartest and best natured cats I've ever known.. this is a great portrait.
