Daphne Elizabeth is a chocolate brown British shorthair cat with bright orange eyes. She is sprawled happily under a black Christmas tree decorated with fake berries,mushrooms, and pine cones, joyously biting into a giant brown leather mouse toy.

Daphne Elizabeth is a chocolate brown British shorthair cat with bright orange eyes. She is sprawled happily under a black Christmas tree decorated with fake berries,mushrooms, and pine cones.
