Phesina kits, new pics: girls (the Mature ladies)

[phesina]

Poppaea (Princess Poppaea Sabina Eugenia):
I've only got this one picture of her. She is another one who is REAL good when she sees the camera, shutting hers eyes just as the flash goes off. Here's one that got her with the right eye still slightly open! That's the best I could get.



Lavinia:
Closeup, looking regal and adorable


With one of her kittens!

Lavinia picks up the little fluffy red heart, moves it a few inches or a few feet, sets it down, picks it up again, moves it again, and so on, all the while going "MEOWR! MROWWR! BRRRT!" over and over.. just like a mama cat moving one of her babies. I tell her, "Your baby looks just like you!"

What adorable older ladies Poppaea and Lavinia are!

I have a special plate in my heart for oldies but goodies!!!

How old are your girls?

[phesina]

Thank you, moosmom and chocolatepuppy, for the compliments from the beautiful Mature ladies and me!

Poppaea and Lavinia, I'd say you've both settled in fine in the new digs!

Silly lady Poppaea, don't like that flashy thing in your face, eh? Tell mum to try and snap on with you at a window, no flash needed!

And Lavinia, I don't know if that red heart is a kitten or prey, if you are grumbling at it like that! He he heee, how fun to sit and watch you with it. Thank you for posing with it for this nice photo!

Belly rubs to both of you!

There is something so sweet about Older Lady Cats
that is so appealing.
The more mature they are , the better they look.

Wonderful ladies. Jeanie downstairs is just like Lavinia- she transports a piece of sheepskin and meows for it

[Queen of Poop]

Lovely older ladies. Thank you for sharing them. Polite scritches for these two.

Pat both Ladies are so Stunning with Beauty.. great pics thanks

[phesina]

Thanks to all for all the nice comments and compliments!

That's an idea, to try for an eye-opening picture of Poppaea with window light, though that isn't great in my apartment. I don't know if I can tell the camera not to flash or if it always does. Or Poppaea might have the same talent Sydney and Sparkler do of just SEEING the camera and shutting eyes or otherwise vanishing.

I've tried many times to get a picture of Lavinia actually CARRYING the little red heart, or one of her other kittens around here. But she's another who, the minute she sees the camera, acts: drops it or turns away with it.

I suppose she could think it's prey and she's calling her kitten Angels to come feast! I read not long ago that mother cats call their kittens like that when they are bringing home prey for them. It's been many many years since Lavinia's had any kittens, if ever.

Lavinia and Poppaea and I all thank you again! Kissies and lovies and gentle skritchies to be delivered.

How old are your girls?

Well, I think Lavinia is around 17 and Poppaea is 20 or so (or more) !!!!

I adopted them both from the house with 12 cats I was petsitting at that caught fire last Christmas Eve.

Oh Pat, they are absolutely beautiful!!! Watching Lavinia with her "kitten" must be something to see. Could I ask you to give each of them some lovies from me?

[phesina]

Well, thank you, momcat, from Lavinia and Poppaea and me!

Lovies to be delivered, as always,
