Cats enjoying sunbeams

Snookums in the kitchen window and Tristana on the back of the chair on the upstairs landing.



I can't help thinking we need to clean our windows. And mirrors. I wish I knew where the window-cleaning magic microfiber cloth was...

Both of them are so very Cat. How did you even get cats that look so Cat.

With these curly little weirdos you get a lot of people finding them too atypical! The curly-hair mutation also makes them less irritating to some allergy sufferers, which is how my wife was led to them when she got her first cat, and she was converted by their personality. They've been getting less stereotypically cat (well, more elongated and lanky and pointy-faced) but also have been gradually coming with bigger and bigger ears since then as the goals and fashions of the breeders evolved. The ears in Tristana's litter (and her parents') are noticeably bigger than the ears of Snookums's family that we met in 2011.

They look like a loving caricature of the species :D

I wonder if that's part of the appeal, visually, of this style of cat...
