I adopted the sweetest calico tabby DSH cat back in early May. Her name is Ginger. She is 2 years old. She will follow you around almost like a dog. She is more affectionate than our siamese cat who we had to put down in March (he was 17). She chirps (not like a cackle, like most cats do when they see birds, but more like a trill or chirrup). I have a video of her chirping I took on my phone back in early June.
