Agreed, which is why I prefaced my statement “for cats who have a hankerin’ to roam.”
MiMi sounds like a fine feline who knows how to communicate with her person.
My cat, Jean-Marie (male cat, French name), requested water in a particular locatioon that was inconvenient for my wife. He fell ill one day, and could not go down the stairs to his bowl. He got his wish, and acted so grateful that she gave in and put the water where he initially requested from that point on.

LOL at cat’s expression.
Heck. Didn’t know Richard Gere posted here!
What is that, Kramer’s dad’s graduation pic?
I have a fella named CrookedTail who is colored very similarly, and he’s nineteen and still climbing trees. The crooks in his tail are a birth/spinal defect, according to the vet. Old Crook has learned a lot of words in his lifetime. HIs afvorite is still milk, and he tries to say it when the fridge opens and he sees the gallon milk jug. That meow, stretched out with emphasis on the middle sound and a sort of gutteral stop at the end instead of the “w” says milk. It even registers with his younger buddy, GooseCat, who comes running when Crook says milk.
one extra thing to mention: yes, she certainly does know how to communicate, for sure.
When I am working @ the laptop she will jump up on the chair next to me and tap me on the shoulder with her paw to get my attention- i’m serious! :):)just as ,say, another person would if they walked into the room and w/o words wanted my attention

A cloning compnay in Texas—by the catchy name of ‘Savings and Clone’—has successfully cloned cats, so perhaps the two kitties in question are mother and clone ... the cloned cats do not match in color markings either, by the way.
You can’t see the cats eyes in the first picture because they’re in the black part.
What appears to be the cats eyes is actually part of the black streak that comes out. It’s visible in both pictures.
If you look closely you can see the cats eyes in the black.
Exactly!
From the two pictures I don’t think it is the same cat. The cat on the right has black flash around both eyes. The cat on the left the flash stops just short of the right eye.
I agree with the others. Not the same cat. We’ve been punked.
That's what I think.
Until last year I would have been doubtful also.
But a worker at my vet’s office has a cat that is 26, and when I seemed surprised at that, she told me that one of their feline patients in that office is 30.
Yes, the older they are, the more they seep into your heart. Everyone was devastated when the cat died, even me, and I hadn’t known the little darling for that long. I think it was a male, but I don’t recall.
