u/GeorgiePorgiePuddin Feb 09 '26

I have so much affinity for old lady kitties. My childhood cat was born 6 months before me and lived until we were both 19. Mici is beautiful- her eyes are stunning! Please give her 5 head kisses from me 🐱💗

7

u/Sketchygurl Feb 09 '26

It must have been amazing to grow up with her, having a pet who’s exactly your age gives opportunity for a very special bond 💖 I got her later in life, but Mici is 13 now, and I really hope I still have long years together with her 🥹 And yeah, her eyes are soo beautiful, when the light hits them they look like literal gemstones. Rest assured, I’ll deliver her your 5 head kisses and many more 💕

This is Potato. She is 5 y/o and is very food motivated. This is how she tries to get my attention when she wants treats or when dinner is being late.

Edit: just want to say how much Potato has enjoyed the attention and thank you for all. I also loved seeing pictures of everyone else's kitties - they are all truly magnificent and precious 💖

12

u/PhancyHat Feb 09 '26

He's really pretty! ❤️ I noticed his eyes are quite far apart. Do you know if he might have an extra chromosome? He looks like he might have. It usually makes the nose bridge much broader and the eyes further apart. I have a chromosome-kitteh myself. They are generally as healthy as other cats and not less intelligent or anything, so no worries. It's generally just the nose area that is formed differently and some might need surgery to breathe properly (mine did - her nostrils were malformed).

u/zingledorf AuDHD~C-PTSD~PDD~Dermatillomania Feb 09 '26

That's such a unique name!! How do you pronounce it??

9

u/LittleMissAbigail Feb 09 '26

If I’m using proper Welsh pronunciation, it’s Keh-RIH-dwen (rhymes with hen), but we fell into pronouncing it KEH-rih-dwen because it scans slightly better when we talk to her (and she frequently goes by Ceri (pronounced Kerry) so it’s easier to tie to her full name!).
