Dear Elsie, what a beautiful tabby lady you are. Your shiny coat looks so soft, and your face is so sweet with those green eyes and your pink nosie.
I am very sorry that you lost your dad. Luckily, your now forever family took you in. You had a bit of a hard to adjust to your new home, it took you nearly a year. After you figured out that it was a safe place, you came out of your shell, and now you own the house. Good for you, and your parents.
You are still "Little Cat", and you still play like a kitten.
Elsie, you are a special kitty, and I wish you and your family a great day full of celebration, and many more happy and healthy years together.
I know that your dad is celebrating with you and watching over you.
