Ashley is 7

[vilakins]

We celebrated Ashley's observed birthday on Friday 1 May - she's now seven. She still seems like a teenager, with her smallness (she weighs just over 3kg) and her kitten squeak.

Awww, such a pretty silvery kitty she is!

She really is, especially in the sun. I tell her she's a work of art. :-)

Happy Birthday Ashley :)

Prrrrrrao! (That's the thank-you noise she makes when I open a door for her.)

She is so beautiful, and looks so happy! I love the sense that she lives in a black and white world, like the Time Lords when they were still cool - perhaps she is a Time Cat!

Have you seen Pleasantville? It's such a fun film: a B&W TV world in which people gradually become coloured as they begin to think for themselves and break free. We used to call Claudia a Pleasantville cat as she looked like one of the still B&W creatures - Ashley is the same, with only her pinkish nose and green eyes showing some colour.

Congratulations, Ashley!!!! Many happy returns!
Oh, she would be a perfect partner for Oliver here...
What a beautiful girl she is! Well, Ollie does it too...while Tygr NEVER did show his tummy for rubbing!
Mmmm...lovely kitty...kočička!!!:-)

Prrrrrrao! (That's the thank-you noise Ashley makes when let her into a closed room.)

Both Ashley and Sebastian roll over and show their tummies for rubbing; they're such gentle cats. Jasmin will do it too, but if you fall into that trap, she's all claws and teeth!

She's such a pretty girl. Have you ever tried photographing her in black and white ? Tycho photographs very well in black and white, and I suspect Ashley may do so too.

I'll have to try! Some of the photos I've taken of her one would swear were B&W except for her eyes or a leaf or something.
