This big, old kitty, who weighs close to 25 pounds (about the same weight as our grandson, pictured here), is very choosy about who may pat her. For some reason, she is quite fond of Diederick, who has been here visiting us for a week. When she sees him outside, she comes strolling right up to him for some affection. The other cats, wisely, steer clear of the little boy.
I applied special effects to this photo at the picnik site. 🙂
