Feline Friday: Pretty as a picture

November 11th, 2005 by Kimberly

Miss Lyra Lou Silverfur McKitten has been shortchanged in recent Feline Fridays. Despite her increasingly long and silly name, she is a beautiful cat, and she knows how to sit for a portrait.

Pretty as a picture

The Friday Ark turns 60 (weeks) today. The Carnival of the Cats will be at Curiouser & Curiouser on Sunday.

    She is beautiful, and your new camera really does a fine job of picking up detail. Wow.

    Lyra looks so much like a younger version of my Earnest.

    Some cats just know how to pose. She is beautiful.
    What kind of camera did you get again? My brother was asking for ideas for Christmas.

    Wow - Ms McKitten sits so well for portraits!

    I wish my darlings would be as good - but they’re too busy chasing everything (including each other) to sit pretty.

    You put other cat bloggers to shame!

    What a beautiful Kitty!!
