Dougy was really clingy yesterday. I pet him. I held him. I told him what a good boy he was. I tried everything! Then I picked up the string toy he and Andy use in their little self-made game, and that perked him up! He wanted to play.
After a few minutes, he was sated and sat down. I took his picture because I love the way he looks right now. His smoke Persian characteristics are coming out in his pelage. My Dougy looks mighty handsome!
What a special cat.Dark as the night
Andy and Dougy are smoke Persians, and their fur has silver highlights the longer it gets.

Watch out kitties….he’s neutered!
Mol!
It’s the risk sex kittens run, eh?! Dougy is a smooth operator on top of it….
He is a handsome boy and so sweet.
I tried the mosaic feature in the new editor today, and I think I am actually getting over my resistance to the change! It’s a new way to present a lot of photos. I’ll play around with it again to see how to make better use of it, like positioning the photos more optimally.
Yup quite the man, this little dapper dan! Great post Doug, handsome picture…no stink eye…a reminder of what your cat might be trying to say, and I learned a new word.
THANX ~~dru~~
It’s a good one, I hope….! LOL! “Pelage” I guess is the word, one I occasionally use when I speak of the elegant phase of my kitties’ hair length, whereas “fur” suffices for they coats when shorter.
The boys are a beautiful color, Doug, and seem like happy little fellows. They are well cared for, and care for you too! 🙂
I try to give them the best lives possible since I make them stay inside. As for their pelage, I’d never come across smoke Persians before I got the boys, and I never cease to stand back in awe of how truly beautiful they are. It’s difficult to capture in a photo, though this particular photo comes fairly close.
He is a handsome boy in a great photo.
Thanks! when he sat in the sun yesterday, I was struck by how beautiful he is when the smoke Persian characteristic show.
It is a great picture!! Of a great and handsome cat!
Thanks! Sometimes I forget to appreciate just how pretty the kitty boys are. Yesterday, it just struck me when I saw him in the bright light.
Dougy tem personalidade!
Sim, ele é cheio de personalidade!

Muito interessante!
His fur looks silky soft. Beautiful.
That it is! The kitty brothers both have cashmere-like fur. He isn’t brushed or he’d look more fantastic but I was struck how pretty he looks anyway. I mean, he’s a boy cat, so you expect his hair to be mussed! LOL!
Cats don’t seem to care about things like that.
Yeah. You know, when Dougy and Andy were given to me, there were two conditions (since they were free): I wasn’t to use them for breeding or I wasn’t to show them at cat shows. They got neutered since I believe in that for domestic pets anyway and I had no intention of showing them at cat shows. So…they aren’t kept groomed to the extent show cats are and they get photographed “as is”. They are pedigree cats, but I saw no purpose or benefit to sending in their papers since I got them under the two conditions.
I would not want toe show my best friend, either. I love cats because they are cats. They have a big job just taking care of you I dare say.
That they do! I agree: you get what you get with them, and cat people understand that what you get is love, laughter, and the destruction of everything in your home to some degree or other. LOL!
That sounds about right. And yet I have mourned many of them and still think of them. They can also get rid of people who have issues and don’t like cats.
They do live with us forever, in that sense. I still miss little Freckles and Louie the ginger cat, but I think it makes me love and treasure Andy and Dougy all the more. Yes, that is a great benefit of having cats! LOL! (Besides, other than people with allergies who have a legitimate reason not to visit, I’d rather not have animal haters or cat haters come over: Love me, love my cats!)
Yes!

He is so cute! 🙂 <3
It really shows in this photo. While I was playing with him, he sat down that way, and I was struck by how pretty he looked. This is one of my best photos of Dougy, I think, for showing that cuteness!
I am sure. He is a sweetheart, totally agree! <3
Thanks! He and his brother Andy have given me nearly five years of joy, and I can’t believe how fast those years have passed.
You are priviledged to have these beautiful angels with you ☺❤
I agree! If you read the story of how I got them (check out the page above – “Andy and Dougy come home” – which has a link to the post with that story) you see how random and accidental it was that I came to have them.
Certainly I will go have a look☺
Their story is so unlikely. Who gives away pedigree cats? More to the point, why? Their early health issues were the reason.
That’s a really good photo of your boy, Doug.
He is hard to get in a photo I like, but that was one I really liked, too! Thanks!
