pleased-when she’s getting a
nice chin rub, for instance.

ext a toes on each of
her front paws. She
can actually grip her
toys in her "hands,”
tiny mice being her
favorite.
Pretty Gwen has
huge two-tone green
eyes. She’s a sweet
and gentle
tortoiseshell lap kitty.
Sometimes she hides
under her blanket, so

who would love to
lay around with you

watch CSI reruns.

handsome Tabby
