DANI: COATED IN WINTER TRAPPINGS

Dani's wearing her hooded winter coat and has accessorized it purrfectly!

Yes, the weather's turned quite chilly and even Dani's natural Maine Coon fur coat can't keep her from shivering.  So she has added an extra layer to buffur herself from the wind and cold.

Dani's coat is a fashionable tweed in bright pink and gray diagonal stripes.  It is designed to allow her maximum movement with wide arms and a hem shaped to fit around her haunches.  The hood is trimmed in pale gray faux fur which, not-so-coincidentally, matches her gray faux fur hat -- so soft and snuggly.

She is wearing a dusty pink wool scarf as a fringe element and has fastened it with a snowflake brooch at the throat.  Her woollen mittens complete the ensemble as well as keeping her tootsies toasty.

To go with this outfit, Dani has selected a funky purrse in the guise of a gray-striped tabby with pink eyes and a pink bow on its head.  Who says fashion can't be fun?

And if all else fails Dani's practising her meditating skills hoping that mind over matter will keep her internal temPURRature on the up during the winter months.

"I'll be able ta say 'never mind, it doesn't mattah!'" says she about all things external.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: DANI IN THE HOOD

DANI IS A WATERCOLOUR WONDER!

This is Dani in the garden in what I call 'Fall's Last Hurrah'!  The picture was taken shortly before the first snow of the season.

Then I transformed it into a watercolour painting using said effect on my photo-editing tool.

And this is the result.

It's a thing of beauty, as is Dani, of course!

"Wot R colours?" she wonders.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DANI: SANTA CAT REHEARSALS

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DANI: STILL LIFE

DANI IS FUR REAL!

Dani's all dressed up today and looking smart.  Not that she's stupid normally, of course.  It just means that she's put herself together nicely.

Today's frock is a velvet emerald-hued number trimmed in faux black fur, and is adorned with a black bow and white crystals at the waist. Dani has chosen a black beret studded with crystals in a floral pattern and featuring a veil which discreetly covers her face down to her pretty little nose.

Dani's jewels include an emerald and diamond pendant on a white gold chain -- both classy and timeless -- as well as a silver cuff bracelet replete with white crystals and faux emeralds.

Her Dior bag is crafted from alligator leather, is trimmed in sparkling silver and features the dangling letters of the designer's name.

After all this, you may think that Dani's really snooty, but actually it's quite the opposite.

"Furget da fancy frock, da silly hat an' ridickulous bracelet an' bag.

All I wonts is da stone -- cuz itz real, like me!" says she quite furvently.

(Besides, is worth a fortune.  Tee hee!)

DANI: GOOSEY, GOOSEY, GANDER!

Dani's happily pawsitioned on the front porch chair.

 "I likes goin' outside cuz dere's lotsa noo fings ta see, smell an' hear ...

 ... an' besides it keeps me on my toes!

"Jus' take a gander at dat!"

"Yoo silly goose!"

These beautiful pictures were taken recently of Dani in the front garden.  And they speak for themselves.

DANI: A CLOSER LOOK!

Dani up close is a marvel to behold!

 "Meowvelous ...

"Fanks fur comin' by fur a look."

Dani doesn't mind having visitors, but she really doesn't like it when they crowd around her.

"Yeah, dat wuzza a liddle too close fur comfurt!  Sigh."
