The Orange Princess Was Told She Was Lovely and Believed Every Word
A tiny gold crown, set with pearls, rests across the orange longhair's brow, and her fluffy cheeks spread out like a mane. Around her neck lies a lace collar with a few strands of pearls, and her gown is green velvet with slashed gold sleeves. Behind her, the Renaissance landscape of cypress trees, a river and distant hills fades into a pale, cloudy sky. Her amber eyes are half closed in the softest of gazes, the look of a cat who has just been told she is the loveliest princess in the kingdom.
Orange cats are famous for being friendly and food-motivated, and most orange cats are male, though females certainly exist. Because many love to eat, weight can creep up, so measuring food, offering puzzle feeders and playing daily keep them trim and happy. Long-haired cats like this princess also need regular brushing, as their fur can mat, especially behind the ears and around the tail. Hairballs are a normal part of life for a long-haired cat, but if she coughs often or loses her appetite, check with your vet. A comfortable lap, warm blankets and gentle voices are what most orange cats treasure, and many return the favor with loud, rumbling purrs.
The princess is satisfied with her crown, her pearls and her dinner. A purr is her royal thank-you.
