Xena the Warrior Princess -- mew, mew you are a fine representative of the feline species! CATgratulations on being selected our COTD. Mew, me-eow so you know, like me, who owns whom! I am Sasha, the Queen and rule my realm with a very gentle paw. My purrsons have figured out that it is I, not they, who run the Palace.

17 pounds is a lot of pussycat! My big brother, the late Tiggy was a big boy, and he weighed in at 15 pounds in his prime! I am 11 pounds, quite the svelte kitty.

Since you're an active princess who loves to play soccer -- which keeps you in shape -- don't worry too much about the weight.

Have a fabulous day with your MeowMom & Pop. Perhaps you'll get some new toys and extra treats for your big celebration.

Live long & healthy, happy & loved. KatMa sends you hugs & kisses, and mew-mewyoup, lots of kittykisses from me.
