Default What a haul!

Today when I came home from work, there were seven cards waiting for me!
Next to sending out cards, receiving them is the most fun! I've had a
total of 14 now, and only one from a non-rpca person.

All scritches and cuddles sent to the cats have been duly distributed.
And Catherine! Robin's whisker looks exactly the same as one of
Miranda's - up to the little curl at the end. I always thought he looked
like a Russian Blue.

Oh dear! I got a whisker too! Catherine, have you been saving up shed
whiskers all year?

I am sure he is at least half Russian Blue; and with the curl like
Miranda's, that makes it even more likely. He fits all the criteria
but the eye color and the two little white spots. When I found his
first shed whisker, I saw it in a bright light and was surprised it
wasn't black. I had thought all whiskers were either black or white.
But his are blue.

I have four cards; but I haven't been to my P.O. box for a week; so I
am sure there are several there. Thanks for the lovely kitty card,
Marina. I so enjoy the cards and get excited over the foreign ones;
the language lesson and the different stamps.

I save all the stamps I get, they then get used to raise money for guide
dogs for the blind.

It's an amazing colour. Almost makes me understand breeders who want to
breed cats for certain colours. ;o) Almost. Miranda is so blue all over,
including nose and paw pads and whiskers. And it's not plain grey,
there's a definite blue tint. I can never get enough of studying her.

I had a gray cat once and Robin is definitely blue in comparison. I
love the way it silvers in different angles of light.
