Introducting Sweet Praline

Hello my floofy friends and fur visitors! Please let me introduce myself. I am a registered Tortoiseshell Persian. My mom was a seal-point Himmie and my dad was a red tabby Persian. I was born on September 25, 1995 in Irmo, South Carolina. I came to live with my Mom on December 11, 1995. My registered name is "Miss Paula's Sweet Praline", my blog name is "Sweet Praline", and my mom calls me "Praline."

Baby Praline - 1995

I have many unique traits because of my fur parents' background. Many of the VETs (or their UNknowledgeable assistants) were skeptical about my catitude because of the Tortie, Himmie and Red Persian in my blood. They said I would be either very sweet or tempermental. My first VET must have been a "dog" person, because I tried to bite and scratch him the first time I saw him and he tried to take some of my special blood. He made his assistant put me in a bag where I couldn't move and they wrote something on my chart indicating I was a "scratcher or a biter." Luckily, we only had to see that VET for a couple of years. I now go to an ALL CAT VET! All of the VETS since that first one have said that I am a sweetie! Mom says I definitely have CATITUDE, but that I am sweet.

Praline - now

I am not a lap kitty, but I love to be right beside my mom. If she is on the couch watching TV, I sleep on the foot rest of the recliner at her feet or right beside her. If she is on the computer, I am doing a full monty down at her feet. I have a really loud purr and turn it on every time Mom pets me, which is quite often. When she is talking on the phone, I just right beside her ear and start purring in the phone, startling those on the phone.

I am looking forward to meeting all of the floofy kitties on this site and want to give a special thank you to Miss Ann for starting our own club. Please come by and visit my blog at Sweet Praline.
