What a lovely dilute tortoiseshell you are, Violet! When I first saw your pictures in thumbnail size, I did think you were grey and white, not the subtly colored tortie you are! How nice your mm adopted you when you were just old enough to leave your cat momma, so you have been loved your whole life - this is as it should be! We are very impressed by you vertical leaping ability - those flies never even stand a chance with you around, do they? We do hope you keep you claws inside when you pounce on your mom, though! You are a beauty, Violet, and congratulations, you are our Caturday Cat of the Day for the whole world to celebrate!
