Childhood dream realized!
About 19yrs ago when I was in college, I had to decide between the sweetest grey tabby and a very playful flame point. I couldn't pass up the kitten that jumped in my arms purring (grey kitten) and have wanted a flame point ever since.
A few days ago I found this gorgeous girl via petfinder and drove 3hrs each way to make this former stay a member of my rainbow of cats (calico, solid grey, tuxedo and now flame point/maybe cream point).
Parked in front of our house, I called my mom. She proclaimed that my childhood dream was realized. I had completely forgotten that when I was in second grade (late 80s/ I'm old) I wanted a white cat with blue eyes. We got a mostly white cat without blue eyes from a classified ad and loved her as if she was exactly what I wanted.
This is Marigold.
