This white one with those beautiful blue eyes is identical to my Elijah who i had for fourteen years and lost last year to IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) he was quite a character and the most gorgeous cat i had ever seen. i rescued him when he was about 7 or 8 wks old from the middle of a country road in a terrible thunderstorm where his mother had been run over and killed. for a long time i didn't know what breed he was. i loved and miss him dearly

I have a Ragdoll and you couldn't ask for a better personality in a cat breed.
