Re: Welcome back, Andrea! ...

Well, they are like almost any cat, except they are a bit more tolerant of some shenanigans.
One thing that you must be careful of is tear-staining on the face (besides the tangling/matting that Andrea had already mentioned. If you'd like, I'll try to get the on-line Cat Fancy magazine's address (if you e-mail me again, I'll send the addie to you directly.) They have listings for reputable cat breeding clubs and federations that may have representatives "near" you. :) They (the reputable breeders) will be more than happy to answer any reasonable questions (like Davidh, Nanaea and you concerning questions on this board. :D)

Thanks for the advice, Gaia 'n' Andrea :)
We test-drove little kitty for an afternoon, to see how she would interact with Nephele. I'm afraid things didnt quite work out: Nephele (23 months old) couldnt disinguish the cat from her inanimate friends, and playfully pulled her ears and poked at her eyes. So I guess it will be another year of two before we can safely host a living feline!

Oh, Greek one! :)
The web address for CAT FANCY is http://www.catfancy.com . You don't have to have a member of the feline race in your household to peruse the e-magazine, and it may be helpful in the future if you do decide to try again (after your disciple of Eris grows up a little.)
I think this current issue talks about flea and tick control (might have been last issue :blush:) and I'm not exactly sure what the flea/tick situations are in your part of the world. They also have links to various breeders and, on occassion, your "average" Heinz 57 (feline for mutt.)

I enjoyed your site, it has a great database with cat breeds! The latest antic of my Eris disciple is to run after pigeons in a park shouting "kill, kill". Extremely weird, I cant fathom where she picked this word up!
