What a beautiful diva girl you are, Tia! So fluffy and colorful just like my Julie! Julie's hair is not quite as long as yours, but she is also a calico and has pretty white feet, too. However, her little feet never touch the street...not since I took her in after neighbors abandoned her ten years ago this Thanksgiving!

Dear Tia, enjoy your day...and keep a watchful eye on Capitol Hill and the White House for us. Democracy is safe with Tia on patrol in the Federal city!

Love and purrs from MARTHA and Julie ("Meow!") the Calico Princess (who rules in another capital city!)
