Mitzi and Bissee

What's your purrmance story with your cat?
Bissee's beauty is surpassed only by her charm and brilliance. Just say the word treat and she is at your feet purring.

Her days are spent lounging on the balcony, watching birds fly by, listening to the sounds of the city and soaking up the midday sun. When I return from work, she awakens to greet me and I scoop her up to squeeze her.

A month ago, Bissee's brother Bear joined our family; she has happily embraced her role as big sister-- playing with him, doting over him and teaching him the ways of the world. If Bear is out of her sight, she is seeking him out and ensuring he is okay.

I grew up in a home where cats and dogs were always part of the family. My mother would bring home strays, we would take in throwaways as people would drop their unwanted pets at our driveway. Mom was too soft to say no.

I don't care what the breed is, I just love cats . My last cat Lucie was a tortoise shell who lived to be 15 and passed in December. Though over the years I developed an allergy to her, I kept her.

When I was ready to bring another cat home, it had to be hypoallergenic. That is why I came to find Bissee and Bear who are Siberian and Persian mix.

(Note: Could not get a picture of myself and both cats together unfortunately).
