Yesterday evening, while El Monto was supervising me at work, I suddenly noticed something. He always had something of a ‘kittenish’ face with soft, rounded features. But that seems to be changing. His features are becoming more mature and angular. He is a little over 2 years old now, so with any luck he might grow into a regal and stern looking MC after all. :koolkat:
(I do hope he will keep his boyish charm though.) :nod:

MCC are slow to mature, but the boys always remain over grown kittens at heart.
Thanks for the reassurance... I don't want him to become a Grumpy Old Man. :LOL:Quote:

Love his great big grey ruff, he looks like he could take it off at night and hang it up to be aired. :LOL:
Awww… he’d look so undignified with a scrawny nekkid neck like a Sphinxie, poor thing. :winkwink:Quote:

Funny you should say that Jackie. A friend of ours who’s had MCs for much longer than we, said when he saw El Monto as a kitten: “That cat is going to frighten the sh!t out of people when he grows up.” At the time I didn’t believe him, but now I am inclined to think he might be right. :winkwink:Quote:

She’s had an amazing show career… took her less than a year to become a GIC. I think she simply scared the judges into awarding her all the prizes. :LOL:
Yeah they're really scary until they open the mouth and a tiny chirp comes out.
I love the picture of Monty with the glowing eyes, I bet he's just a big Teddy Bear.
Hehe... at our place the chirps are more the girls' department. El Monto sounds either like a cooing pigeon or like a quacking duck, depending on what he's trying to say.:LOL:Quote:
