Dave ... That's a great looking calico cat ya got there. I like the eyes and the intelligent face. She/he seems to be paying a lot of attention in the second picture, like maybe watching just how it is that you do what you do!
Cats are amazing to me and always have been. I have a four year ole female cat, Fluffy - so named for her very fluffy tail, that is like my shadow. She goes where ever I go and usually has one of her rear paws on top of my foot when I stop walking around.
Best thing about her is when she is asleep ... that time of the day she is not eating and taking her 10,000th 'spit bath' of the day!
