Kimba could be the TWIN to my Peanut. The only difference (aside the name) is the coloring...check out my Peanut on [email protected] in the photo album section titled "Cricket's Furbabies"....and you will SEE exactly what I mean. Peanut is my baby, at only 11 months old (now)...and he was a rescue from the local H.S
Peanut is a mix of Turkish Van (the black and white kind) and an Aby. The way you described Kimba, it was like reading totally about Peanut. Peanut has the coloring of the Turkish Van BUT everything else is ALL ABY! Down to the "hitching rides on my shoulders" part, and the silent squeak when he talks, and the full of energy, and loving to clean and lick on his brothers (Peanut does it too, on his older brother Charlie) I call my Peanut a "Ninja Cat" becuase he likes to "karate kick" you as you walk past...it is soooo funny! Now to top off the resembulence, when I first got Peanut, I named him (get this...talk about weird) "SIMBA" like in the Lion King...but whenever I loved on Peanut I would call him my "little,wittle peanut", and he seemed to like that better and it stuck...so now he is Peanut and not Simba....or he REALLY WOULD BE Kimba's TWIN!! LOL. Hats off to two GREAT cats!!
Thanks for sharing him with us, he is truly stunning!!!
