Miss Mew says "mewthanks" ;). She is a really neat cat -- her markings are perfectly symmetrical and she *IS* really a very neat colour. Plus she has this really funky personality - a combination of perfectly loyal (She is ALWAYS close when we are outside, she'll discreetly follow us ALL over the property -which is 13 acres) and yet fiercely independent (DO NOT pick me up today. NO! ;) and simultaneously affectionate (PET ME! let me sit on your lap! come up on the hay bales with me!)
She arrived in our lives a couple of years before Tigger, our 22 year old cat who was pretty special herself, died of natural causes on her own terms. Mewie took up residence in the rafters of the barn as a young thing - certainly under a year old. We figure she must have been abandoned, because she seems to be spayed (no litters yet, and we've never taken her to the vets ;). She also has an ear tatoo (which I didn't find until we'd had her a year!). A friend who knows cats says she looks like she is probably a Maine Coon, though she is on the small size for that breed. Anyway, because Tigger was aged and quite arthritic and a little blind/deaf, she had taken up residence around the house. And Mew knew the house range was Tigger's. She had the barn. When Tigger died, Miss Mew expanded her terrain to include the house. We are lucky to have had two such lovely cats!
