Dearest Miss Kitty, how nice to see one of our own beloved PT family members starring as today's COTD! You are absolutely gorgeous with that dilute calico fur and that sweet face with those lovely big green eyes. Thank you for sharing all those great photos with us! You are adorable in every one of them, wearing your 17th birthday hat, resting with your pretty pink paw-pads showing, cuddling up with your dear sister and best friend Olive, and happily relaxing at home. I wish I could reach through the screen and down to North Carolina to pet you, and pet all your kitty housemates, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Meowmie and Dad will pet you all for me .

And what a lovely story you have to tell! You and dear Meowmie have been together ever since you were born. You were an only kitten and came HOME with her, and you've been there ever since, all these 17 years! You're a calm and laid-back girl, with the respect of your kitty housemates. Olive chose you as her best friend after her dear buddy Tobey passed away, and you accepted quietly. You are slowing down some these days, but you are still in good spirits. You love to eat, and you still chase the red laser dot. How nice to imagine you resting in Meowmie's lap as she was writing her tribute to you! You and she and all your family members, feline and human, love each other very much, don't you. We join in hoping that you will all be together for many more years. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Miss Kitty, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
