Breed
From Pinki, Texas I've had my Scottish fold male cat for 17 years now, since he was 6 weeks
old! TC is the best cat, his copper round eyes are so vibrant still and
his ears remind me of the Flying Nun! TC is very vocal and he is KING in
my home. TC loves to relax in front of a fire and just chill. TC has
the best personality and loves to drink from the bath tub spout. I love my
TC, he is
the best pet ever!
