Oh, I thought this was an eye exam. iPhones haven't quite gotten that capability yet 🤔?

Looks like the Flehmen's response was activated by him sniffing her 'tail' for a detailed chemical analysis, especially pheromones.

I am like putty when it comes to kitties. Or should I say I am like putty when it comes to puddy tats?

The photographer has a great eye for spacing. Or is it the cats that have the eye for spacing?

Happy to see a lot of eartip clips (the triangular bit cut into one ear) that indicates the cat has been "TNR" - "trap, neuter, release". This means that someone has humanely trapped the cat and has taken it to a vet to be vaccinated, checked for immediate illnesses that can be treated, and spayed/neutered. The vets clip the tip of the ear like that during sterilization surgery so that no one re-traps that specific cat for TNR. Cat is released when it has recovered, and then it can live its life healthier and safer and without producing tons of kittens!

I understand why I can't have any more cats, because of my age, but I miss them so.

I just adopted a 8-year-old Chihuahua mix. I got a dog instead of a cat for a couple of reasons. There are lots of older animals in the shelters for us older folks.
