She's a DLH Lilac Point.

Lola - 6 1/2 years old. History of chronic UTIs. Very social, loves everyone and anyone...official 'greeter' of the household. Loves to carry her pompom balls around the house. Enjoys wand toys and the laser pointer. Goes nearly psycho over catnip...hilarious contortions and drools! Good cheap entertainment!
