meet the newest member of the family - Sydney! (aka: the Tribble)
Edited on Sat Dec-01-07 04:06 PM by peacebird
She's an impossibly tiny ball of fur, less than five pounds and full grown - but what a love bug!







on edit: Webbie was feeling left out, so here's a snap of him!

5. Indeed - the Trouble with Tribbles!
Sydney is the living embodiment of a Tribble - well except for the reproducing like bunnies in heat part....

Webbie is down from over 23 pounds to 12.5 in the past year. He had every test known to the vets and there was nothing wrong with him, but he kept losing weight ever since his buddy Shadow died. So we adopted Syd, also 8 years old, to keep him company. Webbie has gained a whole pound in three weeks, and is noticably calmer!

2. Aww, cute little ball of fur! Himalayan?
At 5 lbs., that's a lot of fur and not all that much cat. Webbie looks a bit more subtantial, but cute too.

:loveya:

8. Pet photography is so difficult sometimes
If I get close to Cindy or Murphy with the camera, they lick it and me :-).

11. I was told she's a chocolate tipped persian, and trust me - she can keep Webbie in his place!
LOL! She is a little firecracker - not the least bit intimidated by him!

10. That's the smallest adult cat I've ever seen, by far.
I wonder how that happened?

12. my little girl Troop (she died three years ago) was only 5 pounds, but she had been a feral kitten
Edited on Sat Dec-01-07 04:56 PM by peacebird
and was a runt due to malnourishment.... I have no idea why Sydney is so tiny at 8 years, but she is a teeny little thing.

16. Aw, she's cute
Built like my Amber:



A tiny skinny scrap of kitty inside a big bushy fur coat. I'd like to get her soaking wet some day.

20. Yes, she has neat colors
She has a white spot on her tummy, and a light brown blaze on the back of a front leg. Also one light brown toe on a rear foot. She also sprouts a white whisker from time to time, not right now though.
