Misty

This petite girl closely resembles the breed know as the American Bobtail. According to the breed standard, "The American Bobtail cat possesses a strong, broad modified wedge-shaped head, with a distinctive brow above large almost almond shaped eyes giving it a natural hunting gaze. The expression is one of intelligence and alertness."

Yup, that's our Misty, about as close to a miniature Bobcat as you can get. The description goes on to say that "ear furnishings are highly desirable features in this breed." Ear furnishings! What a lovely term for those cute little tufts we see in our kitties' ears. Of course, some older men have them, too . . . not quite so cute.

But back to Misty, who is only 18 months old and was found wandering the streets of Portland around 18th and Burnside. Right now, she'd like to wander her way into your heart. Shouldn't be too hard . . .

Prowling her own quiet backyard or asleep by the fire, she is still only a whisker away from the wilds." - Jean Burden
