    Update on Freya: my adopted Angora.

    I got this girl in the fall. She is a Turkish Angora and was about 6-8 months old. Immediately bonded with the my other cat but she was very thin and had a giardia infection. Fever, dry nose, runny poo, it was a mess that went on for weeks.

    After 2 weeks of treatment she was much improved but didn't seem able to tolerate any cheap foods which is common with this breed. I switched her Blue Buffalo and she was just about perfect. After awhile I noticed she was getting constant dark eye boogers and had almost microscopic black specks around her eye lids. Possibly ear mites but her ears were clean. So an additional treatment of Revolution on her and the other cat and the 2 dogs (just to be sure), now she's perfect and even has a pudgy belly from the weight she gained.

    She's my favorite pet I've ever had. Incredibly sweet and cuddly. She talks a lot, begs for food, sleeps under the covers, and craves constant attention and love

    When I first got her..


    And this is pudgy self now. My sister calls her monorail cat because she often lays on the top of the couch with all 4 legs dangling off the sides.

    Freya yawn!


    On my lap where she usually is if I'm sitting down.

    Wow she's beautiful! Figured I'd share I pic of my fuzz ball. Well he's now with my sister because the place I lived in before my house now wouldn't allow cats. Well she loves him so I let her keep him.

    Thanks! That smooshed face black kitty is adorable too Persian?

    I just love Freya. She greets me every night after work and then hangs out with me until bed time. Her health seems perfect now. Though I'm a little confused at how she could have gained so much weight and gotten such a pudgy belly from eating Blue Buffalo grain free food lol

    Have you ever touched one? It's incredible how they feel isn't it? And being a single coated cat with no under-coat, they hardly shed at all. I'd never felt anything as soft before petting an angora. It's like pure silk.

    I named her. She came from a rescue so I wanted to choose a name that was fitting for her. Goddess of beauty and love

    She's definitely the most loving and beautiful cat I've ever known.

    She's beautiful! The couch thing cracks me up because my friend's cat does the same thing. She's a shorthair but with the van markings on her head.
