Felize is the only girl cat we have. She's the only tortiseshell cat I've ever had and she's surrounded by orange, male tabbycats who love and adore her. She's independent, smart, hopelessly curious and will let YOU know when she's willing to let herself be petted by the likes of YOU! But don't stay up late tonight waiting...she probably won't be calling.

Yeah you have a little smudge on your nose China, no to the left...

Wonder what poet John Milton (1608 - 1674) would say about this beautiful Milton's Tortiseshell butterfly?

A feline working buddy - watching to make sure the printer doesn't jam :~)

This caught my eye at the goodwill in Mason, MI because my mom had one just like it when I was little. It will make a nice purse mirror.

Kitty Sue loves to have her picture made in the shearling boa, but she dosn't like to wear most of her outfits.
