Ask Parker to send you the right one......honest. A month after Dixie left this world, she sent me a kitten from the same pine thicket she came from....he was very little so, two weeks later, she sent me another.......they are 6 months old and weigh in at around 8 1/2 pounds apiece.........well, they were little when she picked them out. Parker will send you the right cat or cats if you ask him. The cat may not be what you think you want but it will definitely be exactly the right little fellow.
