We have decided not to have any more pets, but those two would be very hard to resist. Very pretty!

Such pretty cats! I'm not always a fan of white cats unless they have pretty eyes like these two.

BTW, do you still have Tabitha?

Pam -- I decided that too. I have Missy periodically and she's enough for me. xo, Rosemary

Nancy, I was never a fan of white cats too until I found this pair. I'm sorry to say it's been a few years since Tabitha crossed over the rainbow bridge to join Webster. Thanks for remembering her and asking. xo, Rosemary

Nancy said...

I am sorry to hear about Tabitha but am glad she is with Webster.

Nancy -- Tabitha was my mother's cat and they adored each other. It's very hard to lose pets as we all know. But they add so much to our lives. xo, Rosemary

They are lovely! I wonder what the genetic mutation is that caused them to have two different colored eyes. I remember Tabitha. She was a beautiful redhead! Aren't animals amazing? They ask for so little, but they give so much!

Pam said...

Exquisite!

Rosemary, I believe they might be Chimera cats. Chimerism happens when there are twins in the womb, one twin dies, and the other absorbs it's cells - I am not kidiing. Google chimerism.

Lisa D. -- Thank you for this fascinating information. I have never heard of chimerism but will investigate. Hope you are having a nice summer. xo, Rosemary
