::sigh:: Like her mother and her grandmother and her Great Grandmother ... before her, a long line of really beautiful cats, FiFi just can't take a decent photo! I get something halfway acceptable now and then and have to be content with that! None of them show how really lovely she is and her wonderful type!
	When not looking like a stumbling drunk, she has a really open sweet expression and perfect open, slightly oblique eye-set. Her mackerel pattern is sharp and clear, with those few flashes of red patching in there to add to her party dress :-) Her coat texture is a dream, a nice satin finish that never mats and looks and feels so good. She has wonderful heavy boning and I love her high ears and strong square muzzle. Again, ::sigh::, I think she's just got it ALL going on and she simply refuses to show it off in the showhall! She just curls up in a little ball and goes off in her own mind, pretending she's fishing on a beach somewhere in the Bahamas or something, and so, even though she absolutely has the type to be deserving of a grand title, she will probably never go beyond the CH.
That's okay. She's such a happy girl at home, loves to play, cuddle, hang out and chase bugs - omg, does she LOVE to chase bugs! (While I'm sick to death of the Stink Bug invasion, she thinks they're quite entertaining) Strangers coming in the house are also great big fun, because inevitably toys come out when new people visit! She'll be on your lap or crawling over your head in minutes :-) Firewater is a name honoring her mother, Rum Runner (who honored her grandmother Bacardi)- while keeping the boozey theme I thought to bring in the Native American aspect (though not in a particularly flattering way!) but mostly it's a fun name and even more silly when reduced to the ridiculous FiFi, like she's a little French Poodle or something!
Uh, delicate and prancy she is not! So I find the dichotomy of "FiFi" terribly amusing :-)

Oh yes, she also has a bushy full tail! And she keeps herself Very Clean....
