Dearest Gertie, what a beautiful young lady you are! You are an absolutely gorgeous mixture of all the best of both Tonkinese and Maine Coon breeds. That fluffy black fur looks so very soft and luxurious, and what a sweet face you have with those lovely big green eyes. Thank you for sharing those great photos with us! You are adorable in every one of them. And how nice to check out your deviantART page and see both you and sister Spot there! I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Sonora, California to pet you and Spot both! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you both for me .

And what a delightful story you have to tell! Your dear Purrrson came to the adoption shelter to check out the cats, and you chose him/her right away, coming right up to her/him with a stuffed toy in your mouth. The Fetch game began and has continued to this day! Now you like to lay around the house wherever it is cooler. You love chicken and turkey dishes. Sometimes your dear Purrrsons prepare a special dish for you and Spot, chicken mashed up on a small glass plate and drizzled in home-made gravy or broth. Spot isn't very too interested, but you finish it right up! You are a nice big gorgeous girl, and you and Spot and your Purrrsons all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Gertie, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Spot and Purrrsons and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe even a special serving of chicken mashed up on a small glass plate and drizzled in home-made gravy or broth!
