    Our cat (his name is actually Kitty, original, no?) does have a rosy tinge to his belly! I never really noticed his nose color, but I'll definitely look tonight.

    Mimi - your kitty looks exactly like our neighbors cat - his name is Rocky. He's a lover...and so incredibly gorgeous.

    I'm generally a dog person, but there is a special place in my heart for grey kitties.

    Funny story. As I mentioned earlier, we have a dog door. One night, we were rudely awoken by both of our dogs barking like mad in the house. It was clear that there was something there and not just random 'I hear coyotes' barking. We both jump up and follow the smart dog to what she's trying to show us. There's a cat curled up on my husband's desk chair. We glanced at it, told the dogs to get over it and started to go back to bed (we thought it was our cat). Then the cat lifts his head and opens his gorgeous emerald green eyes. We about had a heart attack!

    The funny thing is, only the day before did our neighbor mention to my husband that she'd lost a cat a few months ago. She described this same cat to my husband and almost started crying thinking that it had been taken by the coyotes. Had she not told him that, we would have chased this cat out of our house! Instead, we closed the office door and left him there until morning. Then my husband took him next door and made our neighbors day! Now we see him around all the time (though luckily, not IN our house anymore!).

    GLC thanks for the great story. I hear about too many cats disappearing because of coyotes. I like an occasional happy ending too.

    That's hilarious, about the strange cat.

    I'm also cracking up about the cat who can't be bothered to open the dog door! lol. My black cat sits inside the dog door and waits for the dogs to open it and then slaps them on the nose. As a result, the dogs quite frequently can't tell if the cat is there so they'll sit outside and whine until we go in the kitchen and tell them it's okay to come in. Might as well not even have the dog door!
