Off the usual routine of "this week in the past"... Ayla was being gorgeous back in 2009.
And these are all out of order in time, but she used to climb the tall ladder.
I once watched her do that from the kitchen. You don't normally expect to see your cat walking up a ladder outside when you are making dinner!
She was young then. Fearless of heights...She isn't just a Princess to me; she is a Wondercat. Her whole life has been a constant source of amazement and surprize.
