Description I couldn't resist~ This is one of my many babies (which live outside) Ziggy! She may not be one for cuddles, but she's still interesting to watch. She'll play with pretty much anything if her eye catches it. She'll even climb people! Definitely better suited for outside life. But she has darted into the house a few times, getting about half-way through before getting put right back outside.  

The odd thing is, she just showed up one day while my parents were on the porch. No collar, no tags, nothing. But she was meowing and completely unfazed by the site of our dog, Bear. So I let her follow me around back to the cat barn (it's where we feed them, also shelter for them from bad weather) and she went straight to eating the food that was out. Since we don't have any super close neighbors and none of the neighbors we do have recently lost a cat, my parents think someone drove by and dropped her off. I actually have a longer theory on this. (Keep reading~)

If you'll look, Ziggy has more than a normal tabby-cat's stripes. She's got spots! I don't know for sure, since I'm not a cat expert, but I've done some research, and I think she might be part Savannah. Possibly a tabby-savannah mix. I think what happened was that Ziggy's original owner moved or was moving to a state where savannahs are illegal (there's three of them I think, but I don't live in one) and (I'm guessing) put her out in front of our house because we have a lot of cats. It wouldn't be the first time we've taken in a cat that's gotten dropped off. And what's one more kitty~? Especially when there's a cat person around~ (that would be me )

If anyone could confirm the "savannah" theory for me, that'd be awesome~ 

Any questions about Ziggy here are welcome~ (if there are any)

She looks a nice cat i have a wee tabby called wiggy, which is is short for Wiggy wigster the tricky trickster brickster, that is her real name lol wigster because she maults so mutch fur in summer that you could make a wig, tricky cause you can never catch her and brickster because of what she leaves in the litter tray   but anyway you have a nice cat there.

Your Wiggy sounds like a fun kitty to be around Ziggy here was so-named because when she first got here she was very good at zig-zagging all over the place. She's since mellowed out as she's gotten older, but she can still really move when she wants to!

adorable kitty, she looks a little bit like mine, who is a shelter cat so I'm not sure about her breed.

Isn't she? Although she did recently have three kittens, which makes her breed even more questionable. One is blonde with spots much like mama's, one is a bit darker with strips like a bengal kitty, and the third is a fluffy dirty blonde tabby. They're adorable, but confusing!
