Ernie is about six months old and is a polydactyl tabby. She is, of course, the sweetest, cutest, smartest kitten ever. I wanted a playmate for my calico, Picabo, after my sweet old Hawkeye died, but I needed a playmate too!
One of the cutest things Ernie does is, when I stroke her nose, she opens her mouth just a little and closes her eyes in ecstasy. Then, she just can't help yawning.
She grew up in a "cathouse" - a separate building from the family home - along with her littermates, another litter and a few older cats (her mother had vanished). The cathouse had no dishwasher, no stereo, no houseplants, etc. - none of the accouterments of a normal human house - she has adjusted remarkably well to her new home.
I'm looking forward to giving her a happy life.
