Cat Tales continue

Bailey and Iesha spend time on the bed. These two beauties belong to Chris. Chris got Bailey when he was living in Jersey and she has moved with him to Danbury, then New Fairfield and now to the home in New Milford, now at his home in New Milford.

Chris lost Iesha to an illness a few years ago. Bailey is on medication for thyroid problems, which was discovered when she lost a lot of weight and was down to under 5 pounds. She is now under control and weighs more than 7 pounds.
