I can't imagine my daughter (Rhiannon, above) ever giving up Briar . . . but I suppose if worst came to worst, he'd end up here, another hand-me-down cat (we're currently hosting Daughter#1's cast-off, who couldn't make the switch to urban apartment)materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-85647922707742860362011-01-27T02:39:03.706-08:002011-01-27T02:39:03.706-08:00Amazingly, I had one of those cats; I gave it a ho...Amazingly, I had one of those cats; I gave it a home after it was given away by someone allergic to cats! I kept him a while, living in London though I dared not let him out for fear of him being turned into a coat. Eventually his hair began to fall out and he was diagnosed with stress/ boredom, so I shipped him to my sister and she then shipped him to my mother, who hates cats but developed a soft spot for him, he lived his twilight years as a cat should, outside chasing mice.<br />The weather is pretty dismal here too, making photography almost impossible; roll on Cyprus,though it is struggling to get above 16 there!indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-27838837278305504052011-01-25T20:51:38.469-08:002011-01-25T20:51:38.469-08:00Terri: Hmmmm. . . . but then I'd have to get o...Terri: Hmmmm. . . . but then I'd have to get organized enough to delegate, wouldn't I!<br />Duchesse: I wasn't thrilled when my daughters got piercings and tattooes, but they were past the age of majority so it wasn't my business. And of course it won't be my business at all if Little Girl does, one day.

You know I'm going to be partial to our little Persian now, but I'll concede second place to your very cute Pepper.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-32621858932694268482011-01-25T16:36:12.502-08:002011-01-25T16:36:12.502-08:00Nola is adorable...I only wish that I was permitte...Nola is adorable...I only wish that I was permitted to show you my grandbaby Isla...<br />Briar is very cute and looks like a lovely Persian but I am currently infatuated with Pepper and I am still shocked at how fast she has charmed me...<br /><br />Good luck with that paper mater...hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-62571327446507440232011-01-25T15:44:37.776-08:002011-01-25T15:44:37.776-08:00Oh!

To me, they were simply different examples of cuteness. And although Hostess is absolutely entitled to disagree, and I would expect her to, I'm pretty convinced that Briar just may be the cutest kittie ever. . . as LBR says, a face right out of a cartoon.<br />and Susan, he was simply strategizing . . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-69451282704074336302011-01-25T11:13:51.603-08:002011-01-25T11:13:51.603-08:00When in doubt, grandchildren and kitties suffice! ...When in doubt, grandchildren and kitties suffice!
