Jiffy is a Siamese Snowshoe who adopted me in Mexican Hat, Utah in 2020. My navigator for that 5600 mile road trip lives with me now.

Receive Text UpdatesHer go-to treat is Temptations and oddly she has a sweet tooth with a taste for ice cream. She got a small blinky rechargeable "mouse" for Christmas '23 that she has finally defeated. She's been known to sneak into the Halloween left-overs for a lollipop to bat around. Her best friend is an ice machine.
Jiffy's markings make her look like a toasted marshmallow. Her predominantly brown back has light spots that seem to migrate. Jiffy has taught me that Siamese colors change seasonally, becoming darker in the winter and lighter in warm months. She's energetic and loves to play on the stairs. She's very muscular with a dense coat and heavy feet. When she gets going on the stairs, it's easily mistaken for a rockin' drum solo! Usually at 3am.
She's sweet and cute and photogenic. Like her sister Brie, she's sparing and selective with her affections. She's also shy, which I attribute to being a Wild West street kid for her first six months. She only socializes with my daughter and I so most have only seen pics and assume she's a myth. For some odd reason she gets excited and goes to the front window when the mailman arrives (boxes?)
