All Sessy wants is to be completely spoiled by everyone she meets. Is that really too much to ask?
This lovely two-year-old girl loves to be pampered. When she isn't being spoiled rotten, Sessy enjoys napping in a comfy bed and spending time with humans or other cats. Sessy would thrive in a home without young children.
