Mango was put down June 18 after the vet diagnosed her with some sort of liver failure. She was 16 and still very happy and affectionate even though she wasn't eating. All these pictures are fairly recent, within the year. I will find some old pictures to scan and put up, as well as some pictures of our other Cornish Rex we had, Spock.

Mango loves to sit on the heat vents. We have one of those modern efficient furnaces that supposedly saves you money, but the downside is that it sounds like there is a jumbo jet taking off in your basement. As soon as the cat hears the furnace go on she runs to the heat vents.

Mango tries to steal your warm spots once you get up. She loves this fleece I have and once covered, she will sleep soundly for hours. This is great because if she isn't in the sun or on the heat vent she is meowing *constantly* for attention.

Mango's favourite spot is in the sun. She will spend the whole day watching imaginary things outside the window and clean herself in the sun. She will follow the sun around the house, and if there is a cloudy day she becomes upset and meows endlessly ...

When there is no sun, no heat vents and no warm spots to steal, the best thing to do is put towels in the dryer for 5 minutes. Once she hears the dryer go on she will meow beside it until you take out the towels. You have to put towels in before you do laundry, otherwise she will meow until the laundry is out of the dryer! She also loves to sit with you, but will run to another heat source once she knows it is there.
