We took a drive this weekend to visit friends and get a little vacation from house and jobs.  It was very relaxing and nice to do a little catching up.  (We’ve been a little antisocial since the house building started.)  During our weekend, we also went to visit a Devon Rex breeder.  Max is a Devon and we plan to get him a friend once the house is done.  (I’d love to adopt a cat from a shelter but, I have allergies to most cats, except Devons.  They have a different coat that doesn’t bother some allergy sufferers).

So, meet Issabella:

She’s a 3 year old Devon Rex (as you can see by the pixie face and the wavy fur) and she is a total love bug!  It was hard to get any pictures of her because she kept rubbing all around :-)  Issabella has had a few litters of kittens and the breeder is planning on placing her in a home where she can live the rest of her life as a pet.  So, YAY, we get to take her home!  And guess what!?!  She is due to have her last litter of kittens this Wed.  (That’s why she’s in an enclosure.  The pregnant mamas are kept separated so they can have their kittens in peace.)  So, we may get one of her kittens, too!  I’ll post pictures when they are born.  I’m really excited.  I’ve missed Max dearly while we’ve been building the house.  Having him and other devons in the house will be great!  They have such personalities!!!  Not like aloof cats at all.  They are more like puppies who follow you around, demand a spot on your lap, and love to talk.  Daisy the Curly Cat is an adorable blog of a devon rex if you want to see what I mean about personality.
