Dearest Diamond, what a stunningly beautiful senior lady kitty you are! You have the sweetest face, with those gorgeous calico colors and the long white whiskers and those lovely pale blue eyes with such a look of love in them. How I wish I could reach through the screen to Tallahassee and gently pet you and rub you under your chin! Since I can't, I hope your loving young Purrrson will give you some pets and chin-rubs for me .

And you are not only beautiful, you have the most delightful Purrrsonality! You get into the most interesting conversations, responding to kind human voices with a cute 'mew' or a small 'meow.' You like to settle down on any available lap on the couch and fall asleep. And how touching that you and your special friend have grown up together. What good friends you are who love each other very much, and what a wonderful love-filled home you and she/he share!

Congratulations, darling Diamond, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your special friend and your whole family and all your friends are enjoying a fine day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
