The Chameleon
Yes, it's the same cat! When sunlit, Tippy's seal-brown
accents soften to the gray of a blue-point, with a hint of
"lynx" striping in his tail. His eyes, of course, are
baby-blue.
Tippy is raucously playful, cannon-balling through the house,
where just about anything he encounters (including people)
becomes a toy.
A friend of ours once commented about scratch-and-bite marks, that it's
hard to tell whether a person's pet is a friendly cat or a mean
dog. And it certainly seems true for this little guy: he's
an energetic ball of tiny needles!
But he's also intensely affectionate. When he wants to
be held, he signals with an eep-oo! Once settled in
a warm lap, he gives out with a rattling purr loud enough to be
heard across the room.

Tippy - 8 May 2011
|
|
By the time Tippy has aged a few months, it's
clear that his eyes are changing color. Though still an
intense blue immediately around the pupils, the irises blend to
pale yellow at their perimeters. When his pupils contract,
the eye color at a distance appears soft blue-green. |
