Casmeow,

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and telling me about your baby cat - Wisp. She sounds very much like Roxy. Actually it seems NFCs and Maine Coons have many similar characteristics. Roxy was a very wild looking kitten - we had no idea about her heritage. She grew up into a beautiful Maine Coon mix with Black and Ginger Tabby markings. She wasn't huge, but had a very defined body style, very feminine, and an absolutely glorious tail which she used to flirt with, incessantly! Like Wispurr, Roxy was constantly chattering. Her voice was unique, not a meow but a squeaky multi levelled chirp that went on and on....

Your suggestion is excellent - thank-you. I have been in contact with several No-Kill shelters both in B.C. and the Hawaiian Islands(Hicat in Honolulu and the Kauai Humane Society)in my search for baby kittens. This has brought me in touch with some very special people - an interesting adventure.

I'll certainly keep you informed. Would love to see a picture of Wispurr!
