HELLO KITTY!

MEET CALLAWAY!
(aka: little bitty, kitty kitty, itty bitty, and sometimes, shitty kitty)

I know, she is weird looking, no jokes, please! She is a Cornish Rex cat,and she is 7 years old - she was the first animal to come into my life as an adult. C-Rex cats originated from a mutation of barn cats in Cornwall, England. They have long legs to help w/mousing in barns w/lots of hay, and they have soft short wavy fur. The waves are called "marcels" (mar-cells) and the super soft hair she has is called guard hairs. All cats actually have guard hairs but you never see them or feel them b/c they are so close to the skin.
Hubby "D" ,and I bought Callaway, after doing a lot of research, (before we knew about rescue) as a 5 month old kitten from a wonderful breeder in CA. Cal actually flew all the way from CA to AR in an airplane and we had to go to the airport to pick her up. We actually were so excited to be finally going to get her that "D" was speeding to the airport and we got pulled over - you should have seen the look and the laugh we got from the cop when we told him who we were going to pick up and why we were in such a hurry. I think he let us go b/c he knew no one could ever make up such a silly story! When we got her home and first got her out of her crate I cried and told "D" - "oh no, we bought an ugly cat!" But then Callaway came up to me meowing and head butted me and and loved all over me and I was "done." She is the now the Queen of the house and we love her!
