Here is my Ziggy. He is an American Wirehair that came to me on my 45th birthday. My neighbor breeds cats (sigh) and he was of no use to her as he has a kink on the end of his tail. Her loss--my gain!



Here is his sister, Brillo. She is a former grand champion Wirehair, but once she achieved that status, and had 2 litters of kittens (with complications) my neighbor decided to cut her losses...and I gained a sweetie pie!



Last but not least, is Felix. He came to me from another neighbor who lets her cats breed at will. He had been kicked out of the "colony" when he became breeding age and sought refuge on my porch in January of 2005. We trapped him on Super Bowl Sunday of that year and had him neutered, and slowly (as he was pretty feral) he made his way into the house, where he is now our "cuddler in chief."



Thanks for looking!
