To My Emerald Girl - Happy 3rd Birthday!

[Russian Blue]

First and formost, hello everyone! :)It's been awhile, but I thought I should stop by and let you know that Nakita has just turned 3 years old! Time flies! ;) Here's a tribute to my little girl - can you tell I've totally fallen for her?

It all started out so innocently. Rob and I had moved into a house and I said I wanted a cat. Nakita came into our lives a little less than 3 years ago and in that time has filled our lives with laughter, love and so much more! She only weighs in at 5 pounds and has the smallest frame I have seen on a cat.

Rob was not overly excited about the proposal of bringing a cat into our home. He really had no experience with cats, and just complained about the extra fur balls that would soon start to appear, the cost of food, you know...all the complaints from a non-cat lover. Of course, once Nakita entered this household, that would soon change. Nakita has a magical way of moving herself into your heart.


It didn't take long for Nakita to win Rob over. Actually, it probably took all of 30 seconds. We brought her home, opened up her carrier and she climbed right up Rob's leg. But, Nakita never uses her claws so as she tried to climb up, she fell with a *thud* back down to the floor. Rob picked her up and that was the moment he turned into a cat lover. She now has him eating out of her hand:

I knew Nakita would also want to go outside, especially when we go on our weekend trips to the cottage. She took to leash training like a fish to water. She now demands to be taken for a daily walk and loves every minute of it.

There are so many reasons why I love her. The way she sits with one paw up:

How she does the Queen wave from behind the glass of our front window:

Or is it her amazing eyes? As you can see, I don't call her my Emerald Girl for nothing:

But if you take a close up shot from the side, you see the mixing of blue and green within her eyes...amazing!

But I also love her since she also has some quirks. Her favourite way to drink, is out of a shot glass. But don't worry, I only place water in that glass! ;)

When she was younger, she would sit on top of my computer and squish her little head between the top of the monitor and shelf unit that sat directly above it. So once I shared this pic, Nakita was from that point on known as Nakita the Gargoyle. :D

A member from another site sent her a Doofus Dog toy, and now it's her favourite. She also loves napping beside the teddy bear that's in the background:

Her mouse takes a close second for favourite toy:

No matter how you look at it, no matter the colour of the eyes, or the pattern of the fur or the tone of meow.....I love this girl.

I am so happy that you posted some beautiful photos of darling Nakita for us!:)
HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY SWEET NAKITA!:D
I can't believe that she is 3 already, time really flies, my Samantha is going to be 17 in a couple of weeks!
I think the last time I saw Nakita photos was when she was in that contest.
I seem to remember that she won it, did she like the prize?

Give Nakita some Birthday hugs and kisses from me, she is just too beautiful!

I currently use a Canon Powershot A80. Hope to upgrade in the future to another Canon (probably the G6). I highly recommend the Canon camera series!

Nakita! Check out your furdude. ;)

What a cute card Kelly! Thanks! :D

[Russian Blue]

Thanks everyone for your kind birthday wishes and comments. I'll be sure to pass them on to Nakita.

I wish I was able to visit more often too! :( Life has been so busy over the last year. We're still renovating our home, had some family health scares and I have constant overtime at my job.

But I do try to sneak some time every now and then.

:)

[orangemm]

Nakita, you are such a lovely young lady! Happpy 3rd Birthday to you!

And, you pose so beautifully for your meowmie, what a good girl!

Love those gorgeous eyes. She is a beauty and you take some beautiful pictures.

[jenluckenbach]

Happy birthday, Nakita.

I find it completely amazing how 5 pounds can hold so much beauty, mystery and love. But some how, Nakita has it all. :)

[trayi52]

Happy Birthday, Nakita!!! What some gorgeous pictures of you! I love those lovely green eyes you have!

Willie:)

[QueenScoopalot]

[catcrazylady]

Well, you know how I feel about Nakita! I *swoon* whenever I see her. I think Jen said it best....she just has it ALL!
Your pictures are fantastic but I really can't see how you could go wrong with that model! BEAUTIFUL, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!

:) :) :) !!! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAKITA !!! :) :) :)

[moosmom]

[finn's mom]

Oh, my gosh, those photos are wonderful, I wish I could take some like that! I'll have to study them! :) She is absolutely beautiful!

[rosethecopycat]

Happy Birthday sweet Nakita!

You look like the happiest girl in the world.

I'm sorry your Mommy is so busy, just make her promise to never go away from PT forever.

We really need to see you Nakita, you are very special to so many people.:)

[ramanth]

Happy 3rd Birthday Nakita!! You are stunning as always.

Every picture makes me gasp with joy. :)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I think Nakita should have a birthday everyday so we get to see pics of her more often! ;) :D

I love the third pic - the last one of her with Rob. She looks like she was enjoying a nap in the sunshine, but is more than happy to accept attention from daddy. CJ gets that same contented look on his face sometimes and I just love it. :D

Happy Birthday Nakita

[Vio&Juni]

Oh, I am sorry I missed you day, gorgeous Nakita.

She is so beautiful, it doesn't cease to amaze me how beautiful she is everytime I see her pictures!

Happy belated Birthday, sweet Nakita!

I love her big eyes. Everyone that likes Juni more than Pichu loves her for the big eyes :)

[K9soul]

All I can say is WOW :eek:. She is beautiful, and you are a fantastic photographer! Happy birthday elegant Nakita!
