I was on a hunt for stache pics in Dave’s Flickr account and came across this amazing picture of Agnes, our halfcat. My pal Vito dubbed her the halfcat, because her weight tends to be exactly half of Molly, our other cat’s. Agnes (or Agnef or Ags) was an alleycat that had kittens before she was even a year old. We adopted her at a year, and she remains as teensy as a kitten. She also has some breathing issues, which are common with cats that have a backstory like hers. A vet once told us that they call cats like Ags “snufflers.” How cute is that!

Her snuffling volume goes up and down, depending on the weather and how she’s feeling. Sometimes, it’s a mild rumble while other times it’s more of a freight train. She’s a little shy, though much less skittish than when we got her. It’s been really amazing to watch her go from constant hiding/running away to the playful, happy, curious kitcat she is now.

Anyways!

This picture of her is hilarious, and I couldn’t just pass it by. She’s such a little cupcake.
