Thank you, shyra. She's the first Tortie I ever had, and she's as sweet and goofy as she is beautiful. Glad you liked the pictures. :cat

Chloe has the most incredible face. :lovestruc

Oh my God! in that second picture. she is trying to give you THE LOOK! hysterical! Thanks for the pictures

Thanks for the larger pictures of gorgeous Chloe lopevian. Of course now I can see her perfectly. Oh, and I love the "blankie" captions on them. Too cute! :)

Gee, lo, her eyes absolutely captivate me! She is adorable! I can see from the pictures that she's a silly with a lot of personality! Geez...I'm getting all mushy! :nod :lol

lopevian what a beautiful girl!! Thank you for sharing.

I'm just really glad I was finally able to share some pictures. It took five months, but better late than never. I could never have described how enchanting she is better than a picture could capture her charms. She's a sweetie, and I'm completely head over heels in love.

lopevian: What wonderful photos of Chloe. She's such a perty girlie! :heart

Great News! Our Zoo just announced the arrival of TWO new baby red pandas! Their names are Tai and Pip. :biglove
-------------
"Two more cubs – Tai and Pip – have been born at the Valley Zoo, following the two born there last year. Of only 45 red pandas in captivity in North America, four have now been born right here.

“We hope we’re looking after them right. Just the fact we’re having babies means we’re doing something right,” said Valley Zoo animal health technologist Sandy Heiliker. “We have a good diet (and) a good habitat for them.”

Tai and Pip were born May 26 to Lala, who also gave birth to twins last year. At birth, Tai was 147 grams and Pip was 112 grams. Their weights actually led to their names, with Heiliker’s daughter dubbing the smaller twin “Pipsqueak” later shortened to Pip. Tai, the larger twin, is Chinese for “Big.”

look, everybody--1000 pages of animal love here!

Lopevian, I love the pictures. The one on your AV cracks me up.
Misskitty, I thought about you last night. I saw a stray kitty in my neigborhood that looks just like Mr. Tootles. His face is shaped the same and everything--same size, color, everything. . Of course I stopped my car and called "Tootles" :ohno.
Unfortunately like all the other feral kitties around here he ran away. I don't know why I always stop and call kitty-kitty to all the cats I see who are obviously strays. There must be dozens in the little bit of woods up the street and in 'town' here where there are no houses. I guess I think if they would just come get in the car I'd take them to get fixed and de-fleaed. What would probably really happen is I'd get clawed half to death and pee all in my car, so it's just as well the kitties don't want charity.

And they'd probably explain to you that their mothers did not name them "kitty-kitty"! :rofl:rofl
