The bigger the ears, the more emphatic the game of not hearing requests or scolds.

He wears them well, with pride, dignity and aplomb befitting a king. In fact, it's a trait that he shares with British royalty, the current King Charles, former Prince of Wales.

Not only the famous Arthur of legend, but there's Henry VIII's older brother, too, who was named for the legendary Arthur.

He never causes any trouble, doesn't knock stuff over, is fast to return slow blinks and he starts purring the instant I start to give him scritches.

They're all pretty cats. She has very attractive vagabonds who supply some very pretty offspring.

I like how they seem to recognize who comes from which mom when they first get inside and that they all get along like they do.

but I really adore him.

My Ember had ears like that when she was a kitten. They dwarfed her little face until she was about 1 1/2 years old, but she grew into them eventually. They were so endearing. Today they are only slightly large, not at all out of proportion to her face.
