Differences

Guests to the Ashton house often complain that my daughter and I are hard to tell apart. I think that this picture may help to point out how different we actually are. Please note that Riker is on the left and I, Socks, am on the right.

1. Yes, we are similarly colored, but as you can see Riker's markings swirl, and mine are spots that form stripes.
2. We both have white on our necks, but Riker's stops at her chin. Mine extends up around one cheek and up my nose bridge.
3. Not obvious in this picture is the fact that Riker is quite tall and slim. I am much more normally cat shaped.

I hope this was helpful.
