A birthday and some cat photos

[vilakins]

Ashley turned two in the weekend; at least 1st May is the day we chose for her official birthday.

Three photos taken on her birthday


Two girls in a snuggler.


I like the sidelong looks they're giving me.


Ashley gets a birthday lick.

Seven assorted others taken in the last few weeks


Jasmin looking uncharacteristically demure. She's sitting on a towel on the back of the couch near my computer desk, like Claudia used to. She likes towels, but she likes knitting even more, so I'm going to knit some nice headrest covers for her in a machine-washable acrylic.


Comin' at ya! I tried to take a cute photo of Ashley but she rushed at the camera. I thought it was funny and kept it.


Friends! Awww.


Plush lion and plush Jasmin on one of the spare beds. I've had these two big plushies for years; in fact I think they were the first I ever bought. Claudia used to bite them savagely and drag them about the floor though, so I put them away. I brought them out recently and Jasmin, at first unnerved by their size, loves them. I really should have done it earlier as Claudia stopped being so bitey after a couple of years.


Here's the other one, a tiger, with Vic on the other spare bed. I like the way the tiger is looking at Vic with surprise.


Ashley on the deck, trying to blend into the background. It didn't work. Just after I took this, Jasmin leaped on her from the right, and they charged crazily about the garden after each other.


A ball of Jasmin, taken today. The flash went off making her look a bit paler than usual.

Ahahahaha, such cute kitties. I lovelove them sharing the same bed and licking each other. I wish mine were such good friends. :) Happy birthday, Ashley. :D

They didn't do much cuddling over summer, but now it's getting cold they're much more snuggly. :-) Vic still never ets or gives cuddles (except with us) but he likes to be around them and sometimes play, though he gets a bit rough.

You have such beautiful cats. It's lovely that the little ones are such good friends.

[miss-next.livejournal.com]

They are all so gorgeous! :-)

Minsky turns fourteen this month. I think it's around the 23rd.

What a lovely begonning of a day, your cats are such darlings, and so beautiful and also big personalities. Of course, happy birthday to Ashely!
Love is good, shared with our cats. Mrrrrrr. :-)

Oh, I hope she has a lovely birthday! What good condition they're all in!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

It worked out very well. :-)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I hope he gets something he especially likes. Ashley and her two friends had tuna.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

It is. They're such delights in our lives. :-)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

She had a very good birthday that lasted two days with tuna meals. Of course the others shared.

They are so cute--happy birthday girl with friend.

D'AWWWWWWWWWWWNESSSS. *snuggles the wee fluffballs* they both still look so tiny. *gives Ashley some birfday tuna*

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They are. I sometimes pick Ashley up in her snuggler and cuddle her while she purrs happily.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They are both still quite small (I haven't had to let their collars out for ages), and Ashley's so light! Jasmin is smaller than her but heavier, having those dense Burmese bones. They all got birthday tuna for two days; it's such a pleasure watching them enjoy it. Ashley also got extra plain yogurt which she loves. :-)

*pats the kitties* :D I especially like the photo where Ashley's rushing at the camera! :)

[san-valentine.livejournal.com]

Such beautiful girls. Jasmin looks so sleek and she's a beautiful colour. She's a more old-fashioned type of Burmese than the ones I see at cat shows over here. I don't like the modern type, which have very rounded foreheads and slightly googly eyes, as much as Jasmin.

And Ashley is so, so pretty. I love the silver tabby colouring. There's a cat food ad running over here starring a silver tabby Norwegian Forest and I want one !

I lifted Iella onto my lap for a cuddle last night and she settled there, purring madly and wanting fuss. She's not much of a lap cat generally (like most skogkatts), so it was lovely to have her there. Diesel doesn't sit on my lap as much as she used to (though she'll always sit on Gary when he visits), so I've been a bit bereft of lap cats since Skiffle died.

Oh, it sounds wonderful!

[kernezelda]

Aww, the girls are lovely, and how nice to see Vic! Happy birthday to Ashley!

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

They are so very, very pretty. :)

Happy birthday, Ashley!

[zoefruitcake.livejournal.com]

awwww, birthday lick :0) I can't believe how fast the time has gone!

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Happy belated birthday, Ashley, and love to the others! Tabitha has just climbed into my lap, squawking, so probably wants to send greetings too.

Ashley does look very pleased with herself, she must have had some nice presents! And nice to see Vic with the overawed tiger.

Gorgeous photos of lovely cats! I hope you try to use some of these pics as art references during Naarmamo. :^)

[elmey.livejournal.com]

There's nothing nicer than happy cat pictures! They look so cute with their plushies. (And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that made up a birthday for my cats)

[kalinda001.livejournal.com]

Aw, they're adorable. I especially like the 3rd one.

[alizarin-nyc.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous kitties! They look so healthy and happy.
