Premium Member Ms Calico
Ms Calico, who comes to me only on her terms~ obstinately not at my beck-and-call. Ms Calico arrives demanding her tuna, fresh from the can...purrs like an angel dreaming, her glossy coat licked proper and gleaming. No, is never my option when tending to her needs, myself feeling quite under review when performing orderly deeds; seen her torture mice and birds...
