When I found out calico cats are (were?) sometimes called dairymaids, I thought that was the cutest thing.
I also wondered why, which got me thinking the white markings could kinda look like milk.
Which got me thinking of cute nicknames and sayings for that.

*The source defined it as a white and tortoiseshell cat.
This is Sophie. She tolerated other humans and adored me.I am putting her picture out there because others should know this beautiful creature once existed. I’m okay and not asking for condolences. I just want everyone to gaze upon and appreciate this lovely girl.
This photo was sold to me as being “ca. 1960s” but it’s definitely not. Gorgeous cat and picture but I could guess by the colors and the detail that it was 1980s, and confirmed when I got it with the watermark on the back. It was only used by Kodak on their Ektacolor papers between 1985 - 1989. 🤷🏻♀️
