No artist but Mother Nature could have created something as exquisite as the 11-month-old, tuxedo-wearing Thelma Lou. The spayed, vaccinated, little lady has a perfectly marked, pink-nosed, white face, with huge golden eyes. Those eyes gaze out of the midnight-shaded part of Thelma Lou’s face. White ears, unusual on a tuxedo cat, make Thelma Lou even more interesting.

Of course, right now, Thelma Lou isn’t trying to be interesting. Her golden eyes, always huge in her petite face, are larger than usual. That’s because Thelma Lou is afraid. She’s a lap-oriented aristocrat. She’s overwhelmed by the more rambunctious cats.

Thelma Lou feels safest with a human visitor. When her world is quieter, Thelma Lou can show a friend how loved she can make someone feel.
