Dearest Franny, what an utterly beautiful dilute calico girl you are! Such pretty colors and such soft-looking fur.. I wish I could reach right over to Ontario and pet you! And you have the sweetest face, looking up with such love (or have you just spotted some more FOOD nearby? ). We love your pale green eyes, your LOOOOONG white whiskers and eyebrows. and that pretty little tail with the white tip.

We're so glad you were brought HOME after being a stray! You are so much fun to live with, full of energy chasing your toy mousie, and then full of affection, meowing and squeaking and head-butting for attention, then purring with contentment and falling asleep on any handy lap. And of course you are so dedicated and diligent in your important role as Food Tester for the family. They might get poisoned if you weren't right on the job there!

Please be careful running around with plastic grocery bags.. you don't want to get your head caught in the handles! (Maybe your Purrrrson could cut the handles before letting you get the bags.)

Congratulations, darling Franny, on being selected today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your family are all enjoying a delightful day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and more food to test, maybe some extra-special cat treats!
