Bryan, Lily should indeed be nearing full growth. She's been spayed and she has the mass distribution of a typical adult spayed female cat. Do note that this pic is kind to her (that's why I chose it); in some pics, she looks very balloon-like.
She is a beautiful cat, as is her mother Esther. Both display hints that they may have some Maine coon in their background.
Belly tickles? It depends on her waking/sleeping status. If she's ½ asleep, one can stroke her belly with impunity. If she's awake, she's inclined to wield the claws, but not as much as her mother; Esther can sometimes be really wicked with the claws.
I still stand in amaze of the fact that Lily will stay still and stare straight into the camera for one, two, three, even four shots. This one was #3.

ReplyDeleteabsolutely beautiful kittah odalisque!
ReplyDeletejams, mandt...
ReplyDeletejams - that there most certainly is!
mandt - Lily thanks you!
The good news is that she should stop growing soon.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of her stretching out on the sliding door was a hint at her size, and now she is adding the muscle.
Wait until she "fluffs" for the winter.
She has excellent markings, and might have a bit of Maine Coon in her genes that would easily account for the size.
She's is cute, but I have a feeling that a belly tickle would probably be suicidal.
