No idea who the parent's were of the parental's cat... clearly one was a short hair and othe other a persian. She has a very shorthair sort of body and face, and the most incredible, black, long persian fur. Very odd. Cally is perhaps the closest I've seen to her in looks.. if not colour. :P

Hehe, Nermal is just contrary and touchy about touch in general... not very well socialised as we got her too young due to the death of her mother. Mine loves being brushed though with a fervour... so I know the feeling :P
