I've been without kitties for a year. I was going to travel, but I'm stuck because of other things. I'd like short-haired light colored cats. My last kitty was a long-haired Manx. She relied on my boy cat to groom her, at least her head and face. When he died, she didn't take up the slack. I did a lot to keep her clean and healthy, hoping to avoid that part of loving pet ownership :/

You were so kind to keep the kitty. All cats do cat things, but each one has its quirks. That makes them so much fun. My boy cat was the best non-verbal creature I've ever had. He was sure to notice something out of order and let us know. I miss him more than most of the kitties I've had.
