Cats Photo of the Week: Amelia

"Technically she is a Black Smoke with White Maine Coon, but her father was a grand champion silver tabby, and in practice she is almost solid silver. The solid black smoke cats have pure black faces and they are *very* striking. I adopted Amelia as a retired breeder about a year ago. At just over 8 pounds, she is small for her breed, but as a kitten she was a show cat and her registered name is Ch. Cooneyisle Smokin'. I call her my silver lining, because petting her is like petting a cloud. Her favorite activity is sitting in the window chattering at the birds outside. Amelia sometimes shares her home with foster cats from the Maine Coon Rescue, which works in the U.S. and Canada to place Maine Coons and Coon Mixes in good, loving forever homes. Her mom is volunteers for MCR any way she can." - Amanda Wilson

Photos of the Week are selected from general photo submittals. You may send your own great cat photo, using the guidelines on the Photo Submittal page. Be sure to write a paragraph or so about the cat. I can whittle down for brevity, but I can't write very much about a cat I don't know.
