<smiles> Selene, a long haired black cat, was purring in my lap when I
answered that post. She is many years old (I'd have to check with my
vet to get her exact age) and was bottle raised with two siblings from
around 1 week of age...

Isis and Gandalf, her littermates, are just as precious!
Isis is identical to her sister except for a couple of white whiskers
and a slightly more high strung personality, and Gandalf is a short hair
gray and very mellow.
