Myrtle-Lucille (Myrtle for short) was born in and raised in her early years in New Orleans, now residing in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

As the elder stateswoman in our house of three cats, she wields a stern paw with her younger house mates and does not appreciate raucous behavior, nor does she tolerate it. True to her Southern upbringing, she insists on greeting each guest at our home, personally, and will not leave the gathering until she is certain that everyone has had enough time to visit with her. She regularly loses patience with her humans when they fail to see the urgency in her need for a human lap to seize for the afternoon or (entire) evening. She is the love of all of our neighbors and loves her fans equally in return. She's a true Southern Belle.
Hello, magnificent Myrtle-Lucille in Louisiana! Happy Cat of the Day!

What a gorgeous lady you are! I like your golden-orange coloring and your fluffy fur! I would be honored to make a lap for you for an entire afternoon or evening - please count me as one of your many fans!

I smiled when I read about how you greet guests and ensure that everyone has ample time to visit with you! Because you are the elder states-kitty, you are stern with your kitty house-mates and ensure that raucous behavior is brought to a quick end. You ensure that everything is peaceful and comfortable! Best of all, you are the love of your family and all your neighbors -- purrrrr-fect!

Happy, happy Cat of the Day to dear Myrtle-Lucille!
