Our beautiful Patches died last May (08) at 11 yrs. old. She was a gorgeous Callico cat and in keeping with her breed, not a very tolerant cat. Anything new disturbed her greatly and she was very vocal about it. At the same time, she was a very loving pet. She would spend hours on your lap or chest purring while being petted. Her favorite subject was food. Nuff said. Her pet peeve was having her photo taken so these shots are precious and hard won. Enjoy!
