I posted a photo of our cat Ruby on another thread - but here's a photo of her. She turned up at our house as a fairly young kitten (only maybe two or three months old) and although we tried to trace the owners, we had no luck - though secretly we were rather glad, because after a few days we had fallen in love with her and wouldn't have wanted to let her go.

One thing she has always enjoyed is chasing a stick. If you let her chase after a twig and then throw it, she'll go after it, pick it up in her mouth, and bring it back. We've never had a cat who did that before - and she didn't need teaching either!

Ruby is very cute, Rob! 8)
Cats are so playful.

I used to have a fairly young and longlegged orange tiger cat in Maine who came and stayed one day, I called her Delilah (as we already had another older orange tiger cat called Samson who resembled a small lion and who came into the barn and stayed for years). Samson did not let her sleep inside the barn, so Delilah slept on the porch.
Whenever I went for a walk in the wilderness, Delilah followed me like a dog. Without a leash.
Unfortunately after about 2 or 3 months, she disappeared. The coyotes might have caught her. :cry:
I still miss her.

Talking of 'long legged' cats, Ruby has exceptionally long back legs - much longer than most cats we've had. We're not sure why, but perhaps she was from good stock, or maybe semi-pedigree. She really can run very fast because of this, and if she walks she walks more like a 'Big Cat' than a household cat!

This is absolutely precious, Courtenay, thanks for sharing!
