    Eyelashes

    OK, I never realized most cats do not have eyelashes!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    They don't really have eyelashes per se, but they do have eye-brows - sort of like whiskers up-top their heads. Mitzi's are short and curly just like her; Mishi's are long like his whiskers, his body, his tail, his arms, legs,

    That's right, most cats don't have eyelashes, but Lucas DOES. But I do not have a camera capable of taking close-ups like that.

    Funny you should post this!

    Because that is one thing I have definitely NOTICED on Angel! I think it's one of the things that set her eyes off so much! Now I have the task of trying to PROVE it!!!

    Randi has eyelashes

    But our camera flashes too much so I can rarely get a pic of him close up with his eyes open!!

    Tubby has eyelashes too. Sometimes I tell him he is just so pretty with his little eyelashes. ;-) Guess I'll have to try and get pics too, which might be kinda hard since everything is black. I guess I've never really looked to see if Peanut has them, but I'm on it!

    I finally got some pics of Tubby's eyelashes. If you can't see them let me know and I'll circle them on the pics. But they are definitely different than just his hair. They do sort of go over the eye to protect it. He's such a baby doll sometimes.




    Peanut doesn't really have them like Tubby. It sort of looks like she has them, but I think it's just her hair. Anyway, I couldn't leave her out of the picture posting.


    In the second one of Tubby, doesn't he look like he's trying to be coy? Oh Samanthaaaaaa......
