Beauty Comes At A Price Apparently...

I took some pictures of my cat "Persephone" today. I usually just
call her "Puff" or "Sprouts" though for short. Here's one of the
pics:

It was a bit of a pain in the butt to manually remove the red eye but
I think it turned out pretty good. Her eyes are really dilated in the
picture though so it's hard to see just how brilliantly blue her eyes
really are.

And her hair, well, it's not really hair so much as fur, with the
exact same consistency and feel of rabbit fur. She's a Ragdoll
apparently, as I've come to learn, and I was extremely lucky to get
her. I check the local humane society website every day and as soon
as I saw her picture up I raced down there to go and get her, barely
beating out another lady who came in wanting her just as I was filling
out the paperwork for her. Apparently really nice looking Ragdolls
are kind of on the expensive side and I got her for only $100 so that
was a hell of a bargain.

Apparently that incredibly soft fur and brilliantly blue eyes come at
a price though. I guess in order to make them look like that they
have to inbreed them to a certain degree and as such they develop all
sorts of fun medical conditions. You can kind of tell in that
picture, where her ears are a bit damaged and it sort of looks like
she has ear mites. It continually clears up, then gets bad, then
clears up again, almost like a cycle. She also gets real bad cat acne
too, so I have to scrub her face with a wash cloth everyday...which
she really doesn't like...at all. If you don't though then it gets
really bad and they just like scab over and spread, so there's not
much choice. A small price to pay for such a pretty cat.

My sister in law picked her name, Persephone, partly because the Greek
goddess was highly known for her incredibly beauty and also because
she was Goddess of the underworld, snatched away by Hades from the
living world and her mother, which is a kind of allegory to my
snatching her away from the other lady that wanted her at the humane
society and also because my character form is often characterized as
evil, hellish and so forth. I've even been called the full embodiment
of the anti-christ by some. ^__^

I think she is a very beautiful and striking looking cat, you must be
thrilled with her.

I was given my Burmese kitten, now six months old, for a birthday
present recently, I have called her Coco Chanel! She is the usual
chocolate colour with very beautiful golden eyes!

Cheers, Ruth.
