My first cat as an adult living alone, Rosie, was an Black Oriental Shorthair. A smoke tabby with the top half black and the bottom half of each hair white. From a distance she looked black.

She was as slender as a Sphynx. She could jump and sit on top of an open door effortlessly. Scared the daylights out of me. She was a tall cat but teeny. Her paws were like nickels. My friends thought I wasn't feeding her, but she was muscled nicely. She was almost preternatural.
