Poppy - Best Cat
Poppy won't be able to attend the day's festivities. She will be spending the day at home celebrating her free access to every soft warm spot for naps, and wondering why no one is letting her in and out as many times as she wants, and questioning our quality as pet owners due to not being fed her lunch exactly at 4pm. We will for sure miss her presence more than she will miss ours. She has already indicated she intends to gift us a hairball as a wedding present.
