and, no doubt about it, Othello wins.

The cats are beautiful and the people tend a bit eccentric. I got to pet a Sphynx cat at a show; she felt like warm suede and purred a lot.

I never knew Persian longhairs were so popular.

I like the Maine Coon, the Bengal,...and of course, your Othello.

I was thinking the exact same thing....I mean technically I love all kitties but I had no idea the Wilford Brimleys as you put it were this popular..

3 himalayan cats.

This is Buddy and he is just the sweetest guy you'd ever meet.. blue lynx point



Rosalie and julie red flame points.



She fawns over her precious ones just as bad as I do over Othello. We both are just terrible..😻

We are a family that loves the kitties.
Grew up around cats. Don't know what I would do without a cat around. I do know it would be so lonely and empty without a cat to adore in my life.

Lady Sekhmet as thier aunt.

There are no ordinary cats,and each one is perfect.

I don't really like the extreme brachycephalic features on Persians nowadays, too extreme. But their fur is gorgeous.

What a sweet little face that Othello has. No wonder you are crazy about him!

I don't think I've ever seen a cat with leopard spots like the one above.

If you get them as kittens, your can train them to walk on a leash. Otherwise you have to get them an exercise wheel.

I've been more drawn to dogs over the last few years, because I acquired a "step-dog" when I got remarried. I'm still a cat guy at heart, though.

Thank you for the show!
