Nope, no big voice, just a tender little meow. She was as gentle as the photo appears. She used to lie next to me and lick the hair on my arm from the wrist all the way to the elbow, for like a 1/2 hour. She loved grooming me. LOL! I really miss her. (tears.)
This young soldier and his kitteh made me think of your grandson!
Beautiful cat! I’ve always loved the longhaired orientals, but we go with shorthairs to keep the mess under control.
Our Shannon likes to wash people, too. I was nursing the baby in my room this morning, and I heard a loud, “Scritch, scritch, scritch.” It turned out Shannon was sleeping in Frank’s bed, and she was licking the mattress cover with a surprising reverberation. I guess Frank had dribbled some some milk on it!
I’m sorry about your loss. I still miss my old Agnes, who died about 4 years ago. We understood each other!
