Thank you for all your kind comments. Orlando is my oldest kitty girl. She is a dear heart: so gentle and loving. She fell in love with my dogs when I got them (they didn't know what to do with that, so they decided she was a mommy dog). Her fur is soft like velvety rabbit. She's a cuddler and a nuzzler. Her purr is not overloud but it is persistent. I hope that gives you all a sense of her.

Turkish Van? I'm not familiar with the breed. I got Orlando in a shelter when she was 8 weeks old. She has a calico stripe on her inner thigh.

We have black and grey squirrels here. We also have red squirrels: a separate species, I'm told.

I'll try to get a photo of the BlueJays at the feeder. They are magnificent kitty tv too!

Thank you
