Nymeria

Imakatz Emerald Nymeria of Montel at 2 months
old exploring her new home
I have Nymeria with me for almost a month now. I've always wanted a (male!) British Shorthair as a pet but my place is not so suitable for a male cat for the time being so I just got Nymeria instead. She's such a joy and playful kitten.  She is 3 month old kitten now. I would tell you the color but we're actually not sure of the her color yet. She's got brown (OR cinnamon), red and white. She's a tortie, yes, but what kind of tortie we have yet to find out. We're going to wait a little bit longer until she's bigger when color pops out.

Originally I wanted a blue bi-color after seeing one back in 2010. I almost got a lilac bi-color last year (twice!) but fate has its own way of doing things. I got Nymeria right after I submitted my master's thesis. Adopting a kitten can take a toll on you if you're not ready. So the timing was perfect for me. And she's a beautiful kitten, going to be a healthy graceful beautiful cat.
