This thread is crying out for a photo Susan!
I was "adopted" about 3 years ago by a full pedegree (so the vet says) white Persian Long haired Cat. She told me her name was Sally (from the alley) and she was MOST upset that she had been unable to bring her "papers" with her but that under the circumstances, she would be prepared to let the 3 existing cats remain at the house and has been here ever since. She is still fiercly independant but is obviously used to organising a large household and being in charge of "staff", it seems to come naturaly to her. I think that at some time in the past she may have been an actress as she does a fantastic impression of Blowfeld`s Cat in the 007 movies. All I have to do is say "Good eevenink Meester Bond" and unwelcome visitors start looking around nervously for the secret trap door that drops into the shark tank!! :-)
