Dear Deedee: There are a lot of things to like about you, and your tail is only one of them--but I do like an assertive, muscular tail on a cat. I have a boycat with a tail like that and he slings it around like a billy club. He uses it to express every emotion in his repertoire. He has to--because his only vocalization is "mau." Sometimes it's "maauuuu" or MAAUUUU!" but it's always some variation on "mau." By the way, his name is Mau.

Deedee, you have such a lovely tabby coat, you are neither too fat nor too thin, your face is whimsical and charming, and you obviously have a great deal of character. Your owner is right to believe that you are special, and I believe so, too! Congratulations on making Cat of the Day!
