Okay so the story of this one started with a trip to the SPCA to get a puppy with a friend. . . They did not have any and being that I love cats, i could not resist going in and seeing all the babies! I have always wanted a odd-eyed white cat, since i was a little girl, and that day I found this one. When I got here she weighd 2 pounds. I had her for two weeks before she was hospitalized with an infection that almost took her life over night. She ahd a fever of 105.5 for over a week and was on i.vs and the like. . . The told me they were going to put her to sleep and a week later told me to come pick up my baby! Also she fractured her leg rough housing with the dogs while I was not home, so now her front right leg is a little bowed. From her fever she has sufferd some cognative imparements. She does not have a good sense of balance when walking, her tail twitches, and I dont think her depth perception is too good. But she has the most personality I have ever seen in a cat. I will post two pics on here for the moment. More to come!

Key Key with my little sister!



And this is how we watch the birds. . . She will just sit there like this. . .

What an angel! But I am slightly biased.


Is her balance off because she is deaf in one ear? Odd eyed whites are often deaf in one ear, which causes balance problems....

Such a pretty girl! But I am biased towards white cats, too.
(Ari has gold eyes.) Ari is also an avid bird watcher.

She's beautiful! She reminds me of my aunt's cat Snogirl who is deaf in one ear and has one blue eye and one gold eye. I bet they would get along well together! You are a blessing for giving her a good home!

I know many of them are, however at this point in the game and she is ten months old, she still has perfect hearing. A couple weeks ago we thought she was going to loose her eye sight, because she got an infection in her eye that made it very cloudy, but antibiotics cleared it up!
Couple more pictures!

In this one she was four months old.


Lounging on the couch with her daddy(human daddy of course)!

i love her face, never have I seen a cat with such huge eyes. They talk to you!

Awww, what a little beauty.
(I confess to having a soft spot for white kitties too!)

What a beautiful girl!! I have a wobbly kitty, too. My Forest has CH, which makes him walk like a drunken sailor.
Their little quirks just make us love them more, don't they?

She is just beautiful, and I think it takes a pretty good sense of balance to watch the birds the way she does.

She is wobbly on all fours. She has a hard time walking across the back of the couch. She has a hard time jumping up on your lap too. How she watches the birds like that I have no single clue. . .
