About fourteen years ago, my wife was driving to work one morning when a tiny kitten darted across Grimes Street, a busy four-lane that thousands of vehicles traverse daily. Luckily, my wife’s car didn’t hit the kitten, but an oncoming truck did.
The good news is that the kitten survived, thanks to a quick trip to a local vet who put a pin in her leg and a charge on our Visa card. Unwilling to see our investment go to waste, the kitten came home with us and was given the name Polly.
As with all of our cats, her given name is only used about half the time, depending on her behavior. When she’s behaving badly, her mother uses her full name: Polly Esther Cotton. And, when she’s being especially cute, it’s Miss P or Polly Woggle. Of course this sometimes becomes Woggles or P. Woggle.
Polly (or Miss P or P. Woggle) has her own Twitter account which she neglects most of the time, and lately has been toying with the idea of starting a line of fashionable T-shirts. As with any fashion designer, the shirts will reflect Miss P’s personality.
Polly’s current business plan calls for rolling these designs out during Fashion Week in Paris, but early retail opportunities are available for those who act quickly.
