Beautiful cat!, sorry to hear about your loss. I had a great cat who ran out of his 9 lives after 17 human years.  He's at www.staigerland.com - I used to plyfully wrestle him and he'd bite me hard, clinging on to my arm.... I still have a scarr on my right upper arm.

Your cat's face reminds me a lot of my first cat.

Right now I'm looking at that young female finicky and very smart long hair tabby, she's sleepy, and looking at me like "what the HELL are you talkin about?!"
