This girl's fur suit is "tortoiseshell" personified, with its great pattern of colors. Also of note: her dear orange bib and very lyrical tail.

Lovely haircoat aside, Portia is also a good reminder that sweet things come in (fairly) small packages. Quiet and always ready with a quintessential sitting-pretty cat pose (when she isn't snuggled in a lap), she sticks close by, even if your attention is elsewhere.

"Precious" is another word that comes to mind -- especially in the context of her nose-to-nose displays of affection. How can you resist her? Please consider adopting Portia into your family.
