Little Ming has had a second episode of UTI in 12 months, sending us off on a steep learning curve to managing her health to avoid further episodes of this issue.

"Good people are those who love animals.
Animals are special beings, and those who have had the opportunity to experience a connection with them know this.
Animal nobility is a real lesson.
Thanks to them, we are more human
humble, empathetic and loving
They give us their love unconditionally, without asking for anything in return, doing us good"
Keanu Reeves

We think black cats are like mini household panthers .... adorable ❤️

A lot of people believe that black cats are bad luck. but I think all cats are beautiful and deserve to be loved 😻😽

What you contemplating Maxie? 🤔

This is Mings favourite chair. It is on the top level of the house ... a room that opens to a lovely little balcony. She uses the "doggy door" to access the balcony, another favourite spot with multiple resting areas for the cats.
Max, however can only use the "doggy door" with encouragement. He thinks he can't fit but I guess weighing 7.5kg can make some spots kinda a tight squeeze 🙀

Ming's Story

Miss Ming was 4 years old when, along with her sister, they were surrendered to a local cat rescue group. The children in her old family had become allergic to the girls, however we suspect Ming's inordinate amount of hair loss may have played a role in the surrender.

The young Max needed a companion, an older female to keep him content and well adjusted whilst his human mum/slave worked on & off farm, so mid 2019 the petite 2kg Ming joined our little family. ❤️

Ming has the most stunning heterochromia eyes..... as you can see one eye is pale blue, the other pale green!

Here are some fun facts about white cats and heterochromia.

🐱 95% of the general cat population are non-white cats (i.e. not pure white) and congenital deafness is extremely rare in non-white cats.
🐱 5% of the general cat population is white cats (i.e. pure white).
🐱 15-40% of these pure white cats have one or two blue-eyes.

🐱 Of those white cats with one or two blue eyes, 60-80% are deaf; 20-40% have normal hearing; 30-40% had one blue eye and were deaf while 60-70% had one blue eye and normal hearing.
🐱 Of the 5% of white cats in the overall population, 60-80% had eyes of other colors (e.g. orange, green). Of those 10- 20% were deaf and 80-90% had normal hearing.
🐱 Deaf white cats with one or two blue eyes account for 0.25 – 1.5 of total cat population
🐱 Total number of cats with white coat and blue eyes account for 0.75 – 2.0% of total cat population.
