I love Zoey.

But do not tell my boys. One would probably love Zoey, too - he's a cat's cat, and a white-ish version of Zoey - but the other is fantastically jealous.

Friendly, pretty, outgoing, and wants to be involved in anything anyone is doing:

What a distinguished gentleman. He's so cute!

He says thank you, and you're pretty, too.

Awww, he's adorable. Zoey tolerates everyone, but really loves snuggling with me in my computer chair.

Yeah, this one's a lap cat too. I've loved all our cats, but it's great when they're snugglers. Tissot has a thing, though, that we say for him: "Both hands! No devices!" When he's on you, he wants your full attention. It can make getting things done difficult, but it's probably healthy that he forces us to take breaks from our computers.

Does Zoey shed much? We adopted Tissot when he was 5, and I expected him to create a nightmare for the vacuums, but strangely he doesn't really shed much, for all the long hair he has. Loves to be brushed, but we never get anything off him! Is Zoey the same way?

[–] NotBillMurray 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Honestly similar. We have two others with short hair who shed a whole lot more.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I've read it's the undercoat. Short hairs have an undercoat, and it sheds a lot. Longhairs don't (or don't have as much a one?) and so don't shed as much.

I don't care; I'd take a bullet for any of them.

I love kitties that like to be involved! My parents neighbors cat loves to spend time with them and will follow them around and hang out while they work in the garden and do yardwork!

Looks just like my old fluff did 10 years ago :)

I have the same one!

Zoey is a beautiful Turkish angora!

[–] NotBillMurray 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I honestly don't know what she is genetically. We picked her up from a local adoption event. She has a permanently kinked tail and is the most precocious little soot sprite.

[–] FuglyDuck 5 points 4 months ago

She’s a cat. Obviously.

A black cat if you need to be specific, with glorious amounts of floof,

Plenty of voids get posted here and I love them all.
