#11.

This one requires a backstory:

I am chilling at a friend's apartment tonight to watch a Beth Moore video (funny funny lady....she's definitely worth a blog post on her own!) and my friend Caylynn is there. Caylynn brought her cat Callie. Now, this is where you, the reader of this here blog, picks up on what I call the "awwwww cue". Any mention of something that sounds tiny, cute, cuddly, and FURRY just merits that verbal acknowledgment. So.....Caylynn brought her cat Callie (cue: awwwwww). There you go :)

But you'll find that your 'awwwww' may be cut short because this is a similar picture of what Callie looks like:


Callie is a hairless sphynx cat (if I'm correct). I couldn't stop watching her walk around the apartment and explore different areas with such a fearless curiosity! Because A, she just looked so WEIRD. B, her fearless curiosity amazed me. And C, lots of people were around and she wasn't afraid to get close to people. She would invade personal space by jumping over one person's lap to get from curious new place #1 to curious new place #2. Even the laps of those who really didn't like cats! I'm telling you--FEARLESS!
As we started the Beth Moore video, Caylynn gave my friend Monica and I a blanket.  To our surprise, Callie jumped right up onto it and curled up underneath it! She stayed there for the majority of the video and purred the whole time. Monica and I were goners! We fell in love. As weird as Callie still looks to me, she made my day. And my opinion of hairless cats ("that just isn't right. It's not natural.") has changed slightly. Callie may not be the cutest, furriest creature on the face of the earth but she has a personality that is irresistible!
