[Flaxbee]

is that your couch? I like the combo of the prints - floral and stripes. Or is one of those prints a throw?

Lilya looks a bit like my Hedy (aka SilverGirl) - she's mostly a silver tabby, part Maine Coon, but she has some caramel coloring throughout her fur. Her fur is light/ white-silver at the skin-level, then dark silver at the tips. :)
