The slightly modified saying, “Beauty is only fur deep,” doesn’t apply to Marble.  Her spirit and disposition are just as gorgeous as her colorful outside.  That outside is spectacular.  The spayed, tortoiseshell cat wears a coat that should win Mother Nature an art award.  It’s a creative, perfect blend of golds and auburns and sienna browns and ebony.

Marble’s coat is something to admire on long winter days, when the colors outside have vanished.  And Marble would be content to lie on a lap and purr for as long as her person wanted to study her coat.

No one’s bothered to look at her coat before.  Of course, Marble doesn’t want to be admired.  This sweet, forever-small cat simply longs to love and be loved.
