Ramses

2007 Ragamuffin

In May 2009, I lost my female tortoiseshell cat, Reeses, to old age. A few months later, I went to the same shelter we got Reeses from years before to look for another little tortie like her.

Instead, I exited the shelter with a lynx-colored behemoth male with the prettiest blue eyes you've ever seen, whom I named His Royal Highness, King/Pharaoh Ramses. From the moment I got him home, I discovered I had somehow been blessed with the most loving, grateful, sweetest cat in the world. He immediately knew I was his person. He purred and kneaded his paws every time I walked into his quarantine room and snuggled with me on the floor. He has been my shadow ever since. 

Now 14, Ramses is still the sweetest cat ever. He comes when called and knows sit, lay down, high five, and up. He's had some health issues, but he's worth every penny. He's still my number one.
