 | |  | | weirdly, i have lucked into adopting three of my favorite "sorts" of cats...an orangie girl-my "first-born" of this clowder-kaya skye, then rhymon, who is predominately grey (a fave cat color for me) but with beautiful white markings and the most darling grey patch on her chin. she's my first longhaired cat-having just oodles of fun learning how to deal with that, gotta tell you. and newest, the only kitty from my latest rescue of momcat and 3 kittens that i'm keeping, little jadyn black-who has no page yet, because i haven't downloaded enough pics that i KNOW are of her and not her sibs yet. (they're all black kittens... )
i've always wanted an all-black kitty, and now...here she is. (i was going to keep momcat ayla and find all 3 kittens homes, as they are easier to rehome. however, ayla is...shall we say, territorial...and consistently lunges at my cats with claws bared when they have chanced to meet through a crack in the door or through accidental oopsies-didn't know rhymon was in this part of the house when i let ayla out to move around, kaya taught herself to open the door where ayla and her kittens are living, that sort of thing. yeah, i know, she has kittens still nursing, she's an outside cat...but i just can't take the turmoil, and it's not good for or safe for my resident cats. sorry. first-come have priority. 
interesting thing is that the cats i have a weakness for have found me, in three successive years. i too suspect some benign influence from beyond the Bridge all creatures must cross... ...still trying to sort out which of my former animal loves or even humans who have passed might have whispered what to which kitty. i see gracie mae's hand (paw?) in both rhymon & jadyn...circumstances of arrival...and i'm almost certain kaya is a gift from my blessed, blasted, aggravating, precious, devoted and demented devon paige. (those of you who know kaya...don't those adjectives sound familiar? but kaya isn't hampered by devon's extreme anxiety...i think kaya is the kitty devon would have liked to have been, if she could have overcome her fears. and now i'm anthropomorphosizing (sp?) madly...but when you love well, some insights are achieved...either they're accurate or they're just useful...who knows? )
but if i were to have a "wish-cat"... an oriental, an egyptian mau or an affectionate tortoiseshell maine coon. |  |  | |  |

Aside from adopting Savannahs and Chausies I would love to become a hobby breeder and further my "dream breed" : Savannahs!
Poor babies.
I've always wanted a gray kitty too.
