She's my kind of pet too. I've always had cats, and prefer them to dogs. They're not as smelly or messy - female cats anyway.
She sure is a cutey-pie. We first saw her when she was four weeks old and were told that she'd be ready for re-homing when she reached eight weeks old. We were also told that we would be unlikely to get her because about twenty people were after her! We kept pestering them nonetheless, but at eight weeks old, the litter came down with cat flu and they've been ill ever since. We didn't ring for a while. Then today I nagged Cowasaki to ring them, and it turned out that the vet had just released them for re-homing!!! He drove up there straight away to reserve her. Two of the litter had already gone by the time he got there, and the fourth one was snapped up after we reserved Pearl. We had a home visit tonight, and should be able to pick her up tomorrow, if Mr C can get away from work early enough. Just hope our other cat, Moo likes her. She probably won't at first.
