A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever

Persian

Sold

One of the joys of cat, dog and horse shows is the opportunity to meet many different kinds of animals that you don't see on a daily basis. This is especially true of cats, as many of them are indoor animals, rarely if ever venturing out of doors.  This beauty was one of the sweetest, friendliest cats I had ever met. and she reminded me of a childhood pet.  Mine was pure white, unlike this one who looked as if someone had sketched on her lightly with charcoal dust. But my kitty did have the thick, silky white fur and the most affectionate nature.  Every morning when I got up, she would sit in my lap on the rocking chair in out kitchen and put her arms around my neck. Since she had come from a shelter, it was unlikely she was pure Persian, as this one, but she had the same beautiful spirit.

I am not sure about the coloring of this cat. If her owner shared that with me I have forgotten.   Her fur was pure white with just a dusting of the grayish-black marking. So beautiful and so very sweet. Whoever described cats as "aloof" never met this charmer.
