Hi Marmie! Happy Cat of the Day to you, sweet Torti girl!
What a beauty you are, Marmie, a pure and gentle spirit with a heart of gold, with just a bit of independence thrown in! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading your bio., all about your beginnings, your transition into the "inside world," your discovery of the "big bed," your mothering days; every aspect of your your happy, carefree, love filled life! I can only imagine the look on your Mommy's face, the day you decided to give birth on her lap! You must have sensed that she was surely one to be trusted, to have allowed her to share in such a private, special event!

You have the best of all worlds, Marmie, living life on your terms, and bringing so much joy to so many along the way, especially your true family these past 13 years! As has been said, it's inspiring, the respect your Mom has had for your choices. That is the true meaning of uncondtional love! I'm happy though to hear that you've now chosen your family's home, your very own comfy blanket bed, as your nightly retreat! I think you know who loves you most of all! As your Mommy says, you truly are one very special kitty, one of a kind, and so very deserving of your extra specia, Sunday honors!

Thanks for warming my heart on this cold day, sweet baby girl! Enjoy your big day in the spotlight, being pampered to pieces, with wishes for many more wonderful years with your loving family!
Lots of love, cuddles and kisses to you, beautiful Marmie!
P.S...BEAUTIFUL photos, all!
