The Grand Duchesses Olga and Tatiana Romanov in 1915 (also known as the big pair)

I'm so round when I nap! Jellybean won't let me play with her tail (so mean!), so I wear myself out playing with all my toys my Humans brought me. Then, I find the most inconvenient spot on the bed for napping! It's a lot of work being this adorable, but I was born for this life. My Human says I'm getting "fixed" on Valentine's Day, but I don't think there's anything wrong with moi. He says it's important to do because I'm almost a Grown Up Grand Duchess, and that I can't go to New Orleans without it, so in 9 days, I'll go back to the vet. I don't like it there, but they do give me very nice treats. They know how to treat royalty, even if they do pay more attention to Jellybean, having seniority and all that. . On a serious note from The Human: please get your pets spayed or neutered. Cats live longer, healthier lives, and it's never too late for the procedure. If it's too expensive for you, ask your local animal shelter or humane society for reduced or free sterilisation and rabies shots, and if your cat comes in contact with the outside in any way, flea and heartworm medication. Their health is our responsibility, and we owe these little furry friends the best lives possible for giving theirs into our hands. Do the loving thing and spay or neuter your pet ASAP. . . . 🏷️ #littlepixieanastasiya #grandduchess #pixiebob #ragamuffin #pixiebobcat #pixiebobcatsofinstagram #kitten #kittenlove #kittenoftheday #kittens_of_instagram #kittens_of_world #kittensofinstagram #kittens_today #kittenlife #instakitten #dailycat #dailyfluff #cat #catphoto #catstagram #catlover #catsofinstagram #cats_of_instagram #instacat #cute #cutekitten #lovecats #кошка #анастасия #anastasia https://www.instagram.com/p/CoTPVaSO4-r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A throwback to when I first came home in October. I've grown so much in 3 months! My Hooman says I'm mostly tail, but I think he is jealous of my magnificent tail, the only one in my litter. So what kind of cat am I? I'm a mix! Papa is a Ragamuffin, very big and cuddly, with long, plush fur and a magnificent ruff. Mama is a Pixie Bobtail, which looks like a miniature bobcat -- short fur, curled ears, a stub tail, and extra toes. Most of my littermates came out looking more like Mama, but I got all the tail and none of the extra toes. I'm starting to get a bit of a ruff, but I'm unique and still growing. Either way, I am going to be a big girl, or what the ACFA calls "a substantial body type." I'm friendly and curious, but I love My Hooman the most (Other Hooman is also good). I don't meow, but instead, I chirp and chitter, and make all sorts of weird noises. I love water, playing fetch, and climbing. And I love making sure my Hooman takes his meds, rests his painful joints, and feeds me snacks. I know so much stuff and I'm not even six months old! I know, I'm amazing. . . . 🏷️ #littlepixieanastasiya #anastasia #grandduchess #kittenlove #kitten #kittens_of_world #kittensofinstagram #kittens_today #kittens #kittenlife #kittens_of_instagram #kittenoftheday #cutekitten #ragamuffin #ragdollcat #pixiebob #pixie #instakitten #meow #cute #cutekitten #throwback #thedailykitten #catphoto #catsofinstagram #cats_of_instagram #catstagram #catpic #dailyfluff #dailycat #кошка https://www.instagram.com/p/CnuTmuKue8g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
