Furry was born 4/21/03. Her name used to be Irie, then it became Buckets, then it was Furry Buckets until it finally became Furry. One sure-fire way of getting Furry on your lap is by whistling. I've never seen a cat so fascinated by whistling before. Perhaps it's because she is a Persian. Persians aren't your typical breed of cat. They have very unique personalities; are quite intelligent; and are relatively quiet. We've found this to be true with Furry. Some interesting tidbits....she is an excellent bug detector. No mosquito, spider, or fly goes undetected when Furry is around. All I have to do is watch her curiously large amber eyes focus in on a spot on the wall, and I know a bug is present. Before we remove the bug from the wall, we make sure Furry gets a playful swat at her prize which means a helping, friendly hoist from her Mom or Dad! Other tasty traits of Furry: she's a midnight muncher! She also likes to sleep on top of her Mom's belly.
