Was there ever a more adorable little sweetie pie than you, Elsa, with your bluest eyes and beautiful soft tortie coat. That photo of being held in two hands is so touching.

Grrrr to that former owner who was so dreadfully heartless as to want to put you to sleep. Blessings to Louise the vet who said no and to your mum who fell in love with you. Love and care can overcome so much and it is easy to see that you have improved in leaps and bounds.

Chucky sounds like a real darling and you, Elsa, have found a kindred soul in him and Beaudine.

Enjoy your special day, darling Elsa. You have brought so much joy to this site with your story and photos and I feel so privileged to know a tiny part of your life.

Congratulations on being our wonderful and extraordinary Elsa, Cat of the Day - and we hope to have more news of your progress and see more photos in years to come.
