What a wonderful cat!

Almost a true Russian Blue, except for the white spot on the neck. True "Blues" are very wary; it would be quite a feat to get one to sit on your lap. Great photo!

I've attached a picture of Mr. Schpilkis, my Russian Blue.

Mrs. Caraway

I'm related to this lady through her husband -- she was an exemplary person and people should read more about her.

And yes, that is a very smart looking cat.

Not Altogether Lost

"The cat's accomplishments are lost to history."

Au Contraire. Today's Shorpy Photo chronicles two of the cat's accomplishments.
1. The cat got to sit on Mrs. Thaddeus Caraway's lap.
2. The cat held very still while its photograph was taken.
These are notable achievements for a cat.
