The Empress Wore Pearls, Roses and a Crown, and Purred All Day
A little golden crown set with pearls sits between the tufted ears of a ginger longhair empress. Her amber eyes are calm and warm, and her fluffy orange mane blends into a thick ermine collar flecked with black tails. She wears a pink brocade gown embroidered in gold and strewn with tiny roses, with garlands of pearls pinned at the shoulders and a fresh pink rose tucked into the swag of pearls. Behind her, a pink curtain with gold stripes and a wall of painted blossoms make a sweet, sunny background.
Orange tabby cats are famous for their friendly, easygoing personalities. Because the orange color is carried on the X chromosome, most orange cats are male, which makes a female orange cat a bit special. Longhaired cats need regular brushing to prevent mats and hairballs, and a daily comb is a lovely bonding ritual. Fresh water, measured meals, and play sessions with wand toys help keep a cat at a healthy weight. Cats also like to see the world from above, so a window perch or tall cat tree is a good idea. Talk to your vet about vaccines and checkups.
The empress rules over her palace with a gentle paw and a loud purr. Her decrees include extra cuddles at dawn, sunbeams in every room, and a pearl-sized treat at every meal. Her subjects have never been happier.
