ZIGGY!


Ziggy is 4 years old today.
He was born via a C-section and my neighbor called me when he, the momcat and his brother came home from the vet. I was enamored with wirehairs, so I was at her house within minutes, if not seconds. There he was, so cute and obviously a very wiry wirehair.

Sadly, his brother only lived for 2 days, but Ziggy thrived as an only kitten. I was only too happy to take him when my neighbor offered him to me 6 months later, because he had a fault and could not be used for show/breeding. He was my 45th birthday present. The best present EVER.

So, on to the photos. Ziggy is very difficult to photograph so I was lucky to get these.

What, you want my photo? Ha! You're gonna have to WORK for it!:


First, a couple of Ziggy's passions. Ziggy loves to surf the net, and is pictured here with his skin sister, Bella. LOL


He is also currently fascinated with a tree stump in our backyard. He likes to put his head into the hollowed area, and also like to dig out pieces of wood and leaves:


Ziggy and his big sister (she's 10 mos older) enjoying a quiet moment. Look how much bigger he is than she!:


Gazing out the window:


Looking for his "lizard friend" that likes to sun itself on the window sill:


And lastly, licking his chops after his dinner. You can see how the left side of his whiskers still have a way to grow since being shaved for surgery. However, the wound is healed completely and the fact that he doesn't have cancer is HUGE!:


Happy Birthday, Ziggy!

It's easy to see why you love him so. I can tell from the pics he's quite the character!!

Happy birthday, Ziggy!!

Awwwwww, thanks everyone!

Ziggy had a GREAT birthday (or at least we all did, as we celebrated!) My dh is Filipino, and he suggested we have his favorite birthday meal--fried chicken and stir fried veg and noodles, as you must have noodles on your birthday for a long life. We did, and Ziggy ate a bit of both! Later in the afternoon we had brownies and ice cream, but Ziggy just got a lick of the ice cream.

All in all a good day. Ziggy has been resting comfortably all day today.

Again, thanks for looking and the sweet comments. I know Ziggy has a very "unique" look that isn't for everyone, but he has taken up residence and filled my entire heart with love!

Cally, I was always one who never "understood" how people could find wire-hair or Sphinx cats "cute", but after having been on these forums, I can completely get it. They've all got their own personalities, and they are all just lovable!! Now, I find a ton of beauty/handsome in every picture posted here!!!


I'm glad Ziggy had a great birthday, and I hope those noodles give him a good long life!

Thanks! I find Sphinx fascinating as well. I have had a LONG history of loving "scruffy" things and have always thought wirehaired dachshunds to be the cutest doxies, have had two schnauzer cross dogs because I like the scruffy, wiry hair. Heck, even my dh has wirehair!!!!


It's very fun to show visitors my cats and see the expression on their faces when they touch a wirehair cat for the first time. My two wires are both perfect examples of the two coat types: Ziggy has a "hard" coat and Brillo has a "soft" one. Of course I love them both!
