Wanted to share some new photos of my girl, Silk. She is just a little over 6 months now and I am so enamored!

If she isn't eating or walking, this is how she looks. She has never been bathed so I can only imagine how pretty all that fluff would look blow-dried.

She comes from a Catdance egg. She is trimmed quite a bit around eyes and muffs and sees very well.

She is just lovely.....Karen silkies just ROCK!

I have a question about black and blue and under fluff. Does a black ever have any lighter under fluff? I took this picture with a flash and this boy is really black but he does have lighter under fluff on feet and legs. Does that mean he is for sure blue? Actually hoping for blue. Also, how bad is it that he's showing some red in his waddles? Absolutely no red in his comb. (6 1/2 months)
