Roxy (Dilute Tortoiseshell Shorthair)

Roxy is an 8 month old Dilute Tortoiseshell Shorthair. I got Roxy on Mother's Day this year from an adopt-a-thon at our local pet store. Roxy loves to chase flies and moths, play with her crinkly foil ball, terrorize her doggy brother, pounce on her fake mice and, of course, lay in whatever sunny warm spot she can find.

Roxy is very vocal and demanding of your attention. When she is feeling neglected (which is most always) she will climb onto whatever she can get to that gets her as close to your face as she can be and will meow very loudly and pitifully until you pick her up to cuddle and talk baby talk to her.
