Hi
here are a few pics of Lyra taken a couple of months ago. Bear in mind that her tarnishing has faded very much since and that the lighting is very warm - cosy winter evening in front of the fire etc. In cooler light she looks monochrome with a little tarnishing around the face. Whatever, she is lovely and we luff her
She looks really imperious but she is actually very sweet and affectionate. She just gets irritated if she is picked up when she is "busy" savaging a ping pong ball or something. Even then, she only meaows and wriggles away.





When she was tiny:




Have loads and loads more but am running out of time. will bore you all some more tomorrow
How do you make the pics appear within the post?

Nice pics…lovely girl

Just had a look at the stud...he's gorgeous too I think your gonna have some lovely kittens from that mating.

We're hoping to find a suitable silver stud for one of our ladies. We don't particularly want silver kittens but the silvers produce some very warm browns with great contrast and that’s what we're looking for.

Can’t wait to see pics of your first litter…v.exciting

She's gorgeous

I've edited your post to show the images - you just put the URL between a [img]and%20a[/img]. All the pics seem to be different sizes, so you might want to try and resize them all to the same size next time....

.....ever so slighty over-sized!

She a bonnie girl.....I think her colour is fantastic too!

Bengals can be all kinds of different shades and really its down to personal preference, unless a showing career is planned then its a whole new ball game!

I really like a tarnish on a silver myself, It gives a fab warm look to the coat....makes the contrast better down the lines too so I'm told.

put to the right boy she'll produce some great looking kittens for you!


P.s Love the first big pic......A fine capture!

She looks as if she's just about to shake her stuff and have a moment of madness.....whites of the eyes and the ear half-cocked is a dead give away!

Yep she is lovely lovely lovely

and yep - I am a total nimboid re IT

I will have another go tomorrow with some more pics and try to get the sizes right. " I learn . . I learn . . "

Thank you Gavin for helping out.

I love her mad expressions. . . like when she stares at you intently and then her pupils suddenly widen - that's the signal to pull your face out of the way quickly as she is going to pounce.

The pics were taken by my daughter (14) who is already winning small prizes in adult classes for photography.
It would be OT or I would post them and brag like a pathetic mother-type.

I am now exited re her first litter too - it's easy to get too hooked into the worry and dangers and to forget that most births are problem-free and that the whole experiance can be very rewarding for all concerned.

I think Lyra is LOVELY !!! Silver, Gold, whatever.... she has a face that can capture ANY heart... If you call that "tarnish" -- it certainly gives her a striking look.

I think Mr. Zenith is considered to be a brown... but sometimes he looks "tan" sometimes "gold" sometimes more silver or platnium... and no matter what color the "light" gives his coat... I can't stop looking at him.

I'm SURE you feel the same way about Lyra!

Since you want to "brag" on your daughter's photography -- convince her to take LOTS of PHOTOS of Lyra, in different settings... then you can share with us and have a DUAL "brag" -- and we can ALL enjoy her work -- and DROOL over lovely Lyra!

what can I say
I shouldn't care about what ppl think of her but it is nice to
have such praise for angel-face
A bit like when you are young and your friends agree that
your new bf is gorgeous
As I said on another post though, there are so many
amazing cats in the gallery I was almost a bit
miffed that Lyra has such stiff competition.
