Mostly, Ebony is a sleek shiny black. She has 5 or 6 white hairs under each front leg, up in the arm pit area, and about 12 white hairs on her lower tummy. I guess they ARE bikini markings, I never thought of it like that! I keep thinking it is more of Ruffles' white hair, which seems to be on Ebony every moment. So I try to brush them off, ha ha. They are just so few that it is hard to be sure they belong there.

Ebony is a chatterbox. Has been since the moment she was carried into my home. She just NEVER stops. Meows, mews, trills, any sound a cat can make, she makes it. And when she is REALLY unhappy - hungry, or riding in the car - she makes this awful metallic twang sound, like a saw in a country band. It goes RIGHT through my head.
