Letter "K" falls perfectly this go around for us, as October 1st is not only Wednesday but also the birthday (observed) of our obscenely cute kitten, Mischa, who celebrates her first birthday today.
We don't know an exact date of birth because she was rescued by a cat rescue society from a feral colony not long after she was born and taken into their shelter, cared for, spayed, and later adopted by us when she was old enough. But the society guessed that she was born around October 1st, so that is the day we choose to celebrate.
If there has ever been a more adorably cute kitten in the history of adorably cute kittens, we are not sure of the validity of those claims because Mischa is just plain freaking adorable. Even when she is nibbling on our ankles or scratching the bed sheets she is still adorable. We might not be too happy with her during those moments, but we cannot deny the cuteness even then.
Her official name is Mischa, which is the female form of the name Michael in Russian. Why that name you ask? Well, Russian Blue cats come from the Archangel Islands near the Arctic Circle and the Archangel's name is Michael, and since she is a female we feminized Michael into Mischa. She isn't a pure Russian Blue by any stretch, but she looks almost like one and we thought it would be a pretty name either way.
In addition to being called by Mischa, she is also often refered to by any of the following:
Mischa, Mischa-boo, Boo, Boogie, Boogie-boo, Baby, Baby-boo, Hyper-boo, Sleepy-boo, Crazy-boo, Snuggly-boo, Doodle, Punkin (Pumpkin), Punkin-doodle, Sweet Baby Boo, Sweetness, Misch-boo (no 'a'), Mischy, and "STOP BITING ME!" (Sorry, that last one isn't really a name, just something we periodically yell out loud...)
So there you have it, a pictoral and written history of the most recent nine months of the first year of our lovely kitten's life.
Last but not least one of her more serious poses that I happened to catch following an afternoon nap with the sunlight hitting her just perfect - she looks like she was posing for a school portrait, haha.

How cute! I really wish to own gray cats, but I cannot see one here!
My entries are posted here and here.
I love kittys.. I like the one looking through the chair.. Very nice.
We once had a British Blue cat. (I think we chose her because we're Brits). But she looked remarkably like your Russian Blue. She was actually called Ashleigh, because my daughter thought she looked the colour of ash!! But she looked Blue to me.
Wonderful! Our cat is outside right now, but it is cold so she'll be along shortly!
Our first family kitty was a Russian Blue mix named Banjo. He was the friendliest, sweetest, most cuddly cat we have ever owned.
That's for spurrrrring a very nice memory of a very dear cat.
Great photos, too!
