A volunteer writes: I have always been partial to tuxedo cats-they always look so stately! Barack is no exception! She is an elegant elder stateswoman who enjoys attention. She may be a little slow getting up on her feet but once she is you had better be ready to give her some loving! She will not disappoint.
