There have been several comments over the last few posts expressing appreciation for the cuteness of Maddie's tongue. While Maddie (and I, the lucky photographer) feel gratitude for the accolades, I think it is incumbent upon me to correct a misconception. The pinkness in the photos is not her tongue. It's kitty lips.
Maddie's never been a big stick-the-tongue-out sort of girl, but she does possess a sweet little pair of pink kitty lips. The lower lip is the more prominent and visible. She actually developed a swollen lip just after we brought her home from the shelter, several years ago. The doc said it was harmless and gave her a steroid shot in the butt. Mission accomplished. So, to all you kitty tongue fans: sorry to disappoint, but perhaps you'd consider appreciating some kitty lips, too. What harm in that? Here are a few more pics of Maddie from the same (recent) photo-shoot as the one above. Enjoy.
OOoooo... kitty lips, issit? Can we then assume she's always ready for kisses? :D
