“Aroo! Woohoo! Mowowow! I am Flare – and – I have Flair. I’m terribly cute – and amazingly animated. I’m a tabby girl with longish hair and a very tailed tail – and – I tell Tales. I’m speedy – and just love going airborne. Up, up, up, and away – don’t even need a balloon, just bend my rear knees and fly! Thus far, I’ve spent much of my life with Feline Rescue. I grew up here – but it is time – time for this wild young bird to leave the nest and spend the rest of her life with You! You, you, you….”

“Did I say ‘bird’? Oh, yes, I did! See it? It’s flying around on that string. It’s that dang mockingbird, the one that dive bombs me and all my feline friends – comes swooping down and goes ‘Bonk!!” on our sweet furry heads! I’m going to get him! Get him! There’s an old song “Listen to the Mockingbird” – not going to listen to this one once Flare catches him!”

“I’ve applied to take my act on ‘America’s Got Talent’. I tried out for ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, but they said, ‘You can’t bring that bird in here.’ So here I am – the most charming, delightful, playful, cutey-pie cat anywhere, and I’m looking for my people, my always and forever people. Time to take my litter box to my permanent home. Do you have my permanent home? I’ve been sending my picture out to talent and modeling agencies. People need to see that cats are beautiful, not just Grumpy. And, yes, Flare is Beautiful. Almost ethereal, especially when she’s flying through the air.”

“If and when I slow down, you could tickle my chin. Eventually I do settle. Just not right this minute – I need to take one more sail past that handsome Cassidy – the black gentleman who says ‘Brrp!’ Don’t you think he’s handsome? And what a tail! An ethereal tail. How about adopting us together? Take home a pair of fluffy tails! $120 takes me – The Flare – home. $230 will bring Cassidy, too. Sigh, such a tail….”
