She's a domestic shorthair silver tabby with white neck, belly and feet. She also has blonde highlights, which are unusual. Her disposition is as sweet as can be and as rambunctious as a kitten. She loves to jump, climb trees and pounce on anything that moves. She is stalking the photographer (me!) from behind the potted plants.
She's an alpaca and in this photo, was 5-1/2 months old. She was born 12/13/93 and is snow white. The brown spots you see are dirty elbows and knees from cushing (they sit down much like a cat does on it's elbows and haunches).

Aurora is 2 years old and becoming a mom for the first time. She has a very fine, steel-gray fleece with lots of crimp and a wonderful feel. She resembles both her mom, Atalaya, and her dad, Macusani.
My niece, Laurelen, had a wonderful day with her new-found friend, Twinkle. She followed Twinkle and the other alpaca crias (Spanish for babies) around all afternoon. And then they walked off into the sunset together...
