Idgie baby

[Romy]

How sweet is that face! How adorable with her little ruff! Idgie has catitude by the bucketload.
Of course, an intelligent girl like Idgie would know right away the source of the laser red dot! I mean, fancy expecting her to chase a moving image on the wall when she can catch the real thing!
I'd love to see more photos of her showing of her complete ruff wardrobe. What a charmer, and how right it is that she is so adored.
Happy Catoftheday, precious Idgie!

You are beautiful! Even though you live clear across the country from us, my 12 year old Siamese boy would probably love to meet you! You sound like quite a character, and your people obviously adore you, and why not?

Enjoy your special day, pretty kitty.

She has two washcloths that she drags around the house, screaming and howling, and leaves in significant places, like near the front door when we are away, or by the pantry closet where her food is kept. We call them her babies: Green Baby and Blue Baby. When I occasionally have to wash them, she will wait by the dryer until they come out fresh and clean.

That is hilarious! Nothin' better than a smarty pants kitty kat! You are well deserving of your title, Idgie!

Miss Idgie Amelia, after meeting you, all I can say is - Wow! You've got brains, fashion sense and spunk. I hope your people register for PT so we can see more of your ruff collection. Please instruct your humans to give you some extra brushing for me! Happy Cat of the Day, Princess Idgie!

I love her name! My cat's name is Idge!

[momtomany]

Idgie Amelia what a wonderful name and kitty you are. I don't think I can add much more to what everyone says about your wonderful personailty. Congrats on being the COTD and hope you get an extra brushing today

Idgie does the things expected of a tortishell cat. They classically have what is called attitude or "tortitude" which to some make them unacceptable and to the rest of us tortie lovers very endearing. You either accept a tortie on it's terms and time or not at all. If you can live with it, you've got yourself a great cat. I miss mine a great deal. One of these days when my flock thins down, I might adopt a tortie. I love cats with attitude and personality so torties and Siamese rank high on my love list. Great cat. Congrats on having her in your family.

Idgie you are beyond adorable!!!

How aptly you are named too! You seem to have traits from both your name sakes!!! Your love of travel from Ameilia Earhart, and your attitude from Idgie. Fried Green Tomatoes is one of my favorite movies.

I love your ruff too! You wear it well and look beautiful!!!

It was such a treat for me to see your wonderful picture today and read your bio.

I hope you and your loving family have a fun day today. Maybe they should buy you a new ruff as a treat to remember the day.

Congratulations, sweetie, on being our special Cat of the Day!!!

Hello, Idgie! My Zerlina likes to "snudge", too. And she would probably challenge you on whether you really are the Goddess Bast, since she believes SHE is the deity of the house! Congratulations and oblations on your special day!

Greetings and happy Cat of the Day to you, Idgie! What a stunning beauty you are sweetheart, what a spectacular coat, set off to perfection by your lovely ruff! You truly are one of a kind Idgie; so descerning, so discriminating, exceptionally bright and packed with personality! World travler, fashionista, in a word, a Renaissance girl of the "finest feline" variety! I think it's fair to say you don't suffer fools lightly either Yep, there's definitely more than a bit of Amelia Earhart and Idgie in you! Way to keep your humans on their toes, Idgie! Congratulations, cuddles and kisses to you, beautiful Idgie! I hope you're being honored in high style today, being spoiled to the max! Long and happy life to you, Idgie!

Idge,
What is a ruff and where do you get them?

[sm32646]

First, thanks to everyone who wrote in with compliments and worship for Idgie! She is quite gratified, and sends snudges to all her new acolytes.

For those who want to know, a ruff is a ring of fabric gathered around an elastic. It slips over the head of a cat (or small dog). If you're crafty you can make these yourself, but we discovered them in New Orleans at a store called Chi-Wa-Wa-Ga-Ga (http://www.chiwawagaga.com/). It specializes in items for dinky dogs -- but you can use them for cats, too. They sell ruffs in all colors and fabrics, for all occasions. Honestly, I think Idgie must have willed us to go there and buy her one, because from the moment she saw it, she loved it and wanted to wear it. She now has them for Mardi Gras, Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Lammas (August 1), and she adores wearing them. It's the weirdest thing.

You can check out the website and order a ruff for your cat, but most cats really don't want clothes. Idgie is just, well, her wonderful freaky self!
