Meet Tosca. She is about 6 years old (though she never reveals her true age) and lives with Jaye O. (who designed the Cat Walk logo above, although we promise it won't affect our judging decisions...much).
"She has come a long way from her modest beginnings at the shelter on Cerrillos Road, as you may know from her Vanity Fair interview last year. If you have a category for Centerfold, Tosca's your puss! She has had plenty of experience with Tom Cats who would give up their catnip to snuggle up to her two-tone coat. She's friendly with admirers who stop by as she spends her time inside, avoiding the paparazzi, often purring contentedly on her pet human's lap."
She's a real beauty! and sweet, too.
ReplyDeleteI have had the pleasure of meeting Tosca. It was in a small cafe in Fiesole in the hills above Firenze. We talked of many things. Cabbages, kings, the high price of liver-flavored kibble. I'll never forget the way the sun's last rays illuminated her wine-dark fur, turning it into a fiery nimbus that mimicked the angels in the Fra Angelicos we'd spent the afternoon viewing. Alas, the evening was marred by a spat with a churlish waiter. His hand a bloody stump, we left hastily never to return.
ReplyDeleteAh, Tosca, you're a beauty. Obviously that waiter did not know that Cats are Always Right.
