While our youngest son is finishing up his geologist degree at Steven F. Austin University, his furry friend is visiting us. The final 'class' is field camp -- over a month of camping in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. Studying the geology in places such as the Davis mountains, Carlsbad, the Grand Canyon . . . (yes, I'm a wee bit jealous -- does it show?)
Meanwhile, his cat is visiting us for a while. Named Mist for her foggy, misty coat coloring, she is a rescue cat that is part Maine Coon, part unknown. Because of her shorter legs & tail and general round shape, I've wondered if she is part Scottish Fold or British Shorthair. She decidedly does NOT like other cats; she has taken over our bedroom and bathroom, while Bearcat (who would very much like to be friends with her) has the livingroom, kitchen, and loft. So far peace reigns.
I love the effect you achieved for Mist's fur, Vicky. Bearcat is very sweet for allowing her to come in and take over part of the house. I hope the peace lasts!
ReplyDeleteMist's coloring really does bring to mind the look of dense fog -- very unusual. I feel sorry for Bear because he truly wants to be friends with Mist and all she does is hiss at him. He's a very gentle-natured friendly type who loves spending time with others, whether cat, dog, or people.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost as though he shakes his head in confusion as he walks away from her.
