A tail tale ...

... our Small, the elderly but venerable Siamese, was sold to us as "pet quality". Her breeder didn't want to keep her for showing and breeding because she wasn't "show quality". There's a couple of "faults" apparently, she's got white flashes between the toes on her back feet and she's got a bit of striping in her tail. We don't care, shows are not for us, and she doesn't care, she's a cat!
Last night, as I was passing the girls on their old bed (they rejected the beautiful brown silk one I got for them, contrary minxes) and I noticed Small's tail seemed much more striped than usual. What could have caused that? Some dietary deficiency? Something else wrong with her kidneys? Stress? Arrrggggggg.O, it's Ping's.

Spoiled minxes is what they are. Ping is bellowing out the back door at the moment, at the 3 possums on the pergola!

What fun! Sweet that they sleep together and keep each other cosy - who needs a fancy bed when you've got a warm friend?

E, well I think so ;)
Zoomie, that only happens when it's cold, the act of cat snuggling is actully a pretty accurate thermometer.
