Keiko [redux]

July 25, 2013

Virginie says: My partner and I are huge cat lovers. We have now five cats. Keiko was born on March 23, 2009. Her mother is turtle-like and her father is 95% black and 5 % white (on his belly!). We had decided not to keep any kitties, but Keiko grew more beautiful each day and we couldn’t resist keeping her! We chose her name because of her Asian appearance. However, none of her parents are Abyssinian or Siamese. ^^ Her name means “the adored one” in Japanese. She is so beautiful, you can just love her!

What a cutie! Her parents may not have shown Siamese markings, but you don't get these distinctive markings without some Siamese in the background. The eyes aren't blue enough in the later pictures for show cats, but she is a "Keiko" all the way!

Can you show us Keiko's "turtle-like" mother and the daddy? Bet they are lookers, too.

What an adorable little girl! One litter of kittens can represent multiple fathers. I suspect there is Siamese or Tonkinese somewhere in Keiko's heritage. She is just beautiful!

If they could only be kittens for three years before growing up. She is so precious here and grew up to be even more stunning.

I just can't help myself when I see a picture of a kitten pile! I love them all. Keiko is very pretty but as others have said there is some sneaky siamese in there somewhere.

Natthecat, you're showing your age,I'm familiar with the "milkman" expression

Remy'sMama--Don't mind if I did! And I had many well-loved cats over the decades.

Remy'sMama--In our house, it was the Fuller Brush man. He had a serious crush on my widowed mama, but my sister and I put the kibosh on it. What did we know? We were so selfish.

Hey, my dad really WAS the milkman! Says so on my birthday certificate! Dad went into the family business.
On to the main subject. Keiko has + had the most fantastic blue eyes. She looks very warm. Or maybe it is her heart??
