Once upon a time, there was a very pretty Chinchilla Silver Persian kitten named Georgiana.

Now, being a very active and playful kitten, one day she happened upon the fireplace in her human mom's bedroom and found the glass screen open, as it has never been before.

Naturally, Georgiana's curiosity got the best of her and decided to explore the fireplace, which she discovered was very interesting indeed.

While her cousin kittens, Mardi Gras, Arianna and Paparazzi looked on, Georgiana wound her way amongst the logs there and investigated every sooty inch of the fireplace.

However, Georgiana emerged quite a different color than she was before, much to the amusement of her cousins and human mom.

Georgiana was very proud of her bravery and showed off her handiwork — self dye job if you will.

She did not understand why her human mother laughed so much, but gained a clue when she was photographed with the evidence of her ‘Sooty Girl do'; and later whisked into the grooming bathroom for a good bath and an ‘after' photograph taken.

Bemused, Georgiana's human mom sent her ‘before' and ‘after ‘photos to various Yahoo Lists and the responses were hilarious. Some thought she just wanted to be a “Smoke Persian” or a “Sooty Chinchilla or Sooty Shaded Persian, and others loved how she was caught in the act and that her human mom was out of her mind to pose Miss Sooty Girl on an antique chair. Like Cinderella, Sooty Girl/Georgiana also received some love notes from besotted Princes around the world, after they viewed her “after” photos on their Mom's computer screens.

A few days later, Georgiana's mom thought it would be a good idea to take a picture of Georgiana at the scene of her escapade…not! After only taking only a couple shots, Georgiana again jumped into the fireplace and of course dirtied herself once again rubbing against the fireplace walls before her mom could catch her. Nevertheless Georgiana, aka Cinderella aka Sooty Girl was very pleased with herself; she knows she is a gorgeous princess even when covered in soot!
