Dearest Mia, what a gorgeous young lady you are! You are absolutely stunning, with that colorful tabby fur that looks so soft and that sweet face with those lovely big eyes and that look there as though you are smiling in your own kitty way. Thank you for sharing those great photographs with us! You look so comfy and happy in them all. I wish I could reach through the screen and down to Indiana to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Daddy will pet you for me .

And what a delightful story you have to tell! You came to your dear Purrrsons four years ago as a baby. You have grown up into ".. a beautiful blonde tabby ballerina who sleeps inside at night with her daddy and doesn't wander anywhere ever really - a true house (and garden) cat." You regulate mice and catch moths in the garden. Afterwards you come in for a big drink and then a snooze on your Louis Quatorze replica chaise longue. You also like to rest on your throne, that office chair with the old leather jacket and lots of blankies. You and your dear Daddy love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

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