Freyzoo's Dorothy L'Amour (Dot)

Dot was named after Dot Warner on Animaniacs because she's black and white and cuuute, and after Dorothy Lamour because she looks like she's wearing long white gloves. She is a purebred Norwegian Forest Cat, which is similar to a Maine Coon Cat. She likes to play fetch, but we're having trouble training her because we don't speak Norwegian. Dot is catching up to Katie in weight (16 pounds), while her longer hair makes her look huge. She talks a lot and chirps.

She did not shed out her winter coat this past summer. However, she has shed so much this fall that she looks like a kitten again. Fred thinks she's making room for an extra heavy new coat, and this is another sign we're in for a bad winter.

As of spring 2000, she is up to 17 pounds, but she still looks like a kitten.
