He really is a great, mellow cat who just showed up. He was eating the feral food, but my cats weren’t ready for a new roommate, so he went next door and the little girl let him in.

My mother ends up with dogs because they decide the place meets the requirement. The black lab lived down the road, but his owners didn’t pay much attention to him, and the food was almost cardboard. He decided he liked the stuff my mother and her closest neighbor feed it. His original owners said, “keep him”.

Needless to say, this is not really a great area for long-haired cat breeds.

The ‘Grumpy Cat’ is a Himmie with a more Persian face.

Have you seen the Grumpy Cat meme? Slight similarity…. 😀

He is a Himalayan, a Siamese-Persian cross, and has a wonderful brown bottle-brush tail.
