Oh Ashley, it is interesting how much your fur has lightened as you grew up. I bet some people didn't even know a black Persian kitten can look like smoky pewter color when she's an adult! Those round, round, gold eyes and such classic Persian kitty features, and we hear you inherited them from you cat mom! We are so glad you are friendly, as I bet everyone who sees you wants to pet that luxurious fur! Your photos are so nice, the photographer did a good job, and that close-up is stunning! Keep living the good life, Ashley, as you are just as loved as a kitty could be!
