Phoenix, Calicos are my absolute favorite b/c aside from being beautiful, Calicos have such cattitude! And the fact that your tail is shorter than most just makes you that much more special. I had a Tuxie whose tail had to be removed b/c it had been seriously injured when I rescued her. She was the cutest little thing and loved her "stub rubs". I'll bet you like that, too. Whatever the case, I'm sure that you're good company for your humans and that they spend a lot of time giving you the love and attention that you deserve. Enjoy your day as COTD, pretty girl.
