Pinecoon's "Twinkle"

Twinkle is Lina and Wills' daughter, a blue (silver?) classic tabby and white, born 7/19/01. In this photo, she is 12 weeks of age.

Twinkle is extremely loving and outgoing, with a wonderful relaxed temperament. (Our vet couldn't get her to stop purring long enough to listen to her heart. He tried shaking her gently, hanging her upside down, and blowing in her face. Nothing worked. Eventually he covered her nose, and after a long time, she finally quit purring -- for two seconds, which was just long enough for him to hear that her heart was normal.)

Twinkle has good boning, a long body, and a long, square, well-defined muzzle. Her chin is deep and strong and his profile is a beautiful clean curve. Although her ears are well-furnished and have large lynx tips, they are just adequate in size, and aren't as tightly set as we would like. Her coloring is a lovely clear silvery blue, but she has almost no stripes on her body (a classic tabby is supposed to have stripes, but nobody told Twinkle...). Also, the white on her paws just barely covers her toes -- which, incidentally, is why she was named Twinkle (for "Twinkle Toes").
