Mingo is my beloved Silver tabby Maine Coon. She is beautiful in every situation. One of my many nicknames for her is "Principessa" (princess in Italian!). She just can't help it, she's elegant to her bones. Her tail is almost as long as her body, and her fur is silky soft. Now that she's a senior citizen of age sixteen, she has become even more affectionate than ever. She talks to me (especially when I am on the phone) and I try to figure out what she wants. Usually I can, as we have been together so long.
Mingo likes to drink water from the tap, and adores extra light virgin olive oil for some reason. When she is feeling loving and wants to be petted, she puts up her right paw and looks up at us soulfully. It's impossible to resist. She has seen me through some difficult times, and she's one of the best friends I have ever had.
Beautiful silver Princess Mingo! What a gorgeous fluffy coat you have! And your green eyes, and your regal expression! You and your person have such a wonderful relationship, built on years of love and trust. I would be honored to pet you upon request! Since I can't, I hope your person will give you some extra petting for me today whenever you raise your paw. You are precious and stunning! Happy Cat of the Day, lovely Mingo!
