Ha! I got you! The elusive American Wirehair comes into view.
I can’t tell you what a delight it is to say that I have now photographed the American Wirehair cat. I had not realised just how rare it is. That rare, that by the time I reach my bed tonight, I will have had a 22 hour non-stop journey to seek and find it. I [...]

Hair, kitty kitty…hair kitty….
Ok so today was my first introduction to the hairless cat. The Sphynx. I was looking forward to meeting one, and finally I did. I met Jack.
