Tessa

planetrussell says: Tessa is a very special, female Russian Blue mix (now 2 years old), adopted from a shelter near State College, PA. She is highly intelligent, motherly and fiercely protective. She can be quite the little clown, too. Tessa rarely meows, but - like many Russian Blues - communicates via an amazing variety of musical trills and coos. At the time, I had no idea that many Russian Blue cats were naturally hypoallergenic. I had been looking for some time to adopt an older kitten or young adult cat (a "kitteen") for my daughter, who was very concerned about my allergies. She later confided to me, "Daddy, I prayed for a kitty who wouldn't make you sick." A week later, we met lovely Miss Tessa. She has her very own Flickr album here: http://is.gd/eOmZGZ
