we went to the shelter to look at cats today

My favourites so far are a large, athletic male with gorgeous leopard markings, he was a bit standoffish though, a tiny, heartmeltingly sweet female with the glossiest black coat you can imagine, she was a bit timid, and the funniest little female with thick soft orange fur, shaved off from most of her body because she came in with massive knots in it, wearing a sweater She was such a friendly little thing, every time I talked to her she perked up and leant her head back over the basket to reach my hand. She looked like one of those Chinese hairless dogs only worse, but seemed not to take offense. Wouldn't leave the basket though, so it was hard to tell how active she is.
