She definitely is one of a kind. We had lost our Geraldine that had been Mom2's cat for over 20 years and were looking for a two-some. When we went to the local shelter, I spotted Bibette (named "Butter" by shelter people). She was just 2 years old - I believe they might have had her come in with a litter. I, too, am partial to torties - my very first cat was a tortie - and I find their colorings so unique. But her's takes the cake. The black patch that is under her chin is actually a different type of fur, shorter and so much silkier than her orange parts. But she is a little scardi-kat - she went into hiding for 3 days when I brought in our Christmas tree the first Christmas we had her - I nicknamed it the "boogie tree". Once she realized it wasn't going to get her, she got tired of hiding in the bedroom.

Now Lulu - there's nothing that she seems afraid of. She'll walk right up to anyone new coming into the house. Best story was the day the furnace repair man came in with his bucket and winter boots. Bibette was hightailing it down the hallway when she passed Lulu on her way to greet the new visitor. Bibette did a double take, screeched to a halt and turned around. Not wanting to be one-upped by her big sis.

Thanks for checking my girls out.
