Meet my cat

Her name is Pocari (after a Japanese beverage, for no particular reason)

She's a purebreed "Austrialian Mist". This breed is relatively recent (1976), and is a mix between Burmese, Abyssinian and some random house cat. So in a way she's not very purebreed at all, which is all for the better.

Like the name suggest, most Australian Mist catteries are in Australia. however, there are a few in the UK and the USA.

She was still a little bit shy when we brought her home from her breeder.

But since then. she warmed up quite a bit and loves to play with her toy. She is even getting along well with our dog.

Her favorite sleep position is curled up into a ball like so. Adorable !
