This is our beautiful cat, Julia, who just turned 5 years old. Many people comment on her beauty, but she also has the attitude of a stereotypical model. She only loves her human mommy, but she is starting to warm up to the rest of the people who live in her house. Even our baby and toddler can get an occasional stroke of her incredibly soft fur. Everyone else better stick to “petting her with their eyes.” Even if she isn’t the friendliest of felines, she still delights us with her meows, leaps in the air during playtime, and ability to find the silliest hiding places.
