Great breed - love of my life - Flora,

We only had Sadie for five years and she died of kidney failure. She was a rescue because her people had a dog and she learned how to bite but with love she stopped doing that. She bonded and followed my husband everywhere in the house. We kept her in house And in catios. Very easy to maintain and beautiful. Not so likely to be stolen because she’s a tabby not a Persian I think. Strong personality. Independent. That’s so cuddly, but you could see the love in her eyes. I’d like to have another of this breed. She was a short haired, British tabby. If there is a breeder in Canada, I’d like to find out. I live in British Columbia. Thank you for the opportunity to tell you about this beautiful cat.
