Well I don't have a digital camera (yet), so the best I can do to give y'all an idea of what Mitzi and Mishi look like is their bios from the Petfinder web pages. Mitzi was called Sweet Pea - her picture (not a very good one) is here: http://www.petfinder.com/pet.cgi?action=2&pet=1133786
She really is a beautifully marked little pudge ball of catness. She got her name for her little white mitts - at first I thought she was polydactly, but she merely has very large white mitts - and she loves giving kitty "high fives" with them. It's SO cute!
And big Mr. Mishi's (Mishigaas, Mishugenah, whatever) name comes from the Yiddish word for Kooky, crazy kitty, which he is. His foster mom at AnimalSavers is Jewish and gave him his name. He lives up to it! Actually, Mishi is a word my sister and I made up when we were kids -- a variation of a Russian word, which to us means soft, fluffy. Something you love to touch or pet. He has incredibly soft, silky, what I now know is typical Maine Coon fur, which feels exactly like my little Goldie's. I had always suspected she was part Maine Coon and now I know she was.
