A Long Lost Relative?


Okay keep breathing...no we did not take in another stray cat! This is Annie she lives with the Otto's in Pocatello ID. She was a stray cat that they took in from the field behind their house. For those of you who don't remember we found Maki as a starving kitten behind the Otto's house in a that same field. Maki and Annie are more than likely related! Can you see some resemblance? Maki is probably Annie's sister or aunt. It was fun to meet Annie and notice the similarities between them. They have the same eyes, small face, big ears, stripey tails and soft fur. The thing that was the most amusing is how similar their characteristics are, i.e. they are both skiddish and not super keen on cuddling. As you can see Annie's favorite place to hang out is the back of the couch just like Maki. The most interesting similarity we found out is that they both like to smell your hand before you can pet them! It's crazy that those weird little things might genetic. It was fun to meet Annie and have that connection of owning relative cats with the Otto's.

Love this kitty's big eyes and markings but her legs look way too long to be related to Maki!!

And remember how after being fixed she has the same pouch that Maki has?
