Alien (pronounced Allie-Ann) is a tortoise shell Persian. She is 2 1/2 yrs. old. When she was born, because of her markings......my daughter’s first impression of her was "wow, she looks like a little alien cat", hence her name stuck. She is a sweetie and loves having her share of attention. Which sometimes is hard as she has 5 other family members living with her. But she always makes sure you notice she is around, by reaching up and touching your hand or thigh.
