Dear Qita, a.k.a. Blanquita, you are gorgeous! What a beautiful kitty lady you are! That white and black fur looks so very soft, and what a sweet face you have, with that black goatee and those lovely big golden eyes. Thank you for sharing all those great photos with us! You are adorable in every one of them, looking so very contented. In that one of you on your back, are you asking for a tummy rub? I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Capitol Hill in Washington, DC to rub it (only if you want it rubbed, of course) and pet you. I can't, of course, but I know your dear Dad will rub your tummy if you so desire and pet you for me .

And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! You keep an eye on the U.S. Capitol as you sunbathe on the brick wall. You have many talents: hunting mice, talking to humans in chirps, announcing hunting victories with a song, and getting a good stretch while soaking in all the attention you can get. You give your dear Dad a hand, or paw, with his publishing work, impersonating the Great Sphinx in his office to head off varmints. You are very keen on interior decoration, bringing in one-of-a-kind treasures from outside with which to adorn various spots in your home. And you celebrate each new decoration with a song! You and your dear Dad and all your family members love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

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