Great Cats From My Past
...........March 23, 1970-April 25, 1986..........................March 23, 1970-April 14, 1986
"Jenny" (left) and "Penny" were my first set of 'twins'. I
think they must have been part Maine Coon Cat because they each
weighed about 16 pounds. When these girls sat on your lap, your
legs went numb!!!! Penny was the lady of the two, with a circle
of white on each side of her nose, an immaculate white bib and
dainty white toes. Jenny was more of a tomboy. Her facial white
kind of went up one side of her nose, her bib was not always
clean and her white feet went halfway up her legs in the back.
She also had extra toes on both front and back, creating a real
challenge when it came time to trim her nails. They both had
extremely long dense fur, with the undercoat being a tannish
color, while the outer coat was a dark mackerel tabby. Jenny's
tail fur wasn't like most cat tails, it waved like a flattened
plume and she held it upright over her back with just the tip
twitching. They rarely were apart from each other, sleeping
wrapped around each other, appearing to be a giant furry pillow
with two heads. They lived long and healthy lives, dying peacefully within weeks of each other at 16.
