After enjoying your pictures, I peeked at your profile. AHA! Another devoted servant to one and only one Tuxedo Queen! And lucky you to live where it snows!!!
You have inspired me to let Dadcat know that Grasshopper will be the subject of more rolls of film! I loved Ritzy's pics!! So many of them looked like Grasshopper I was amazed! And delighted! The avator you mentioned was my mom's idea, we took her to a portrait studio on a freebie, and ended up buying the whole package! I wish now that I had taken something hot pink to pose her on, she looks good in hot pink. (Good Grief!)
You and I know that even if they look a great deal alike, Tuxedos are unique, each and every one! I will email you her story sometime - She came from Campland on the Bay where the Granddaddy of all Tuxedos ruled the docks and organized the mousing. This guy was huge - probably 25 lbs, solid muscle. I love those Tuxedo kitties, Jellicle beauties evey one!
Ritzy is a number 1 beauty, you have every right to be so proud and in love with her!!!!!
All our best from Grasshopper's faithful students of life! And many belly rubs to Ritzy!
