At 12 yrs old,he's the eldest of the cats I have rescued and kept while in Brazil. His Mother had 4 kittens on the roof of the first house we rented after arrival in Sao Paulo. One of his sisters, equally fluffy, died 5 years later of feline, another sister, a short haired black is still wwith us, and about from some teeth problems appears very healthy too. Hughinho is shy,it took me 9 months to catch him, he is very loving but would not let anyone else pick him up.
