Vanna is no Game Show Diva

Don't Buy a Vowel, Adopt Vanna

Hi, I am Vanna.  Like that other Vanna of game show fame, I am lithe and elegant.  Unlike her, I don’t have an endless variety of lovely gowns.  But, as you will discover, I’m no less stunning in my own original, satiny grey tortie ensemble.   Yes, I am a definite show stopper.

Besides being beautiful, I am affectionate, calm and mellow.  You can pick me up and carry me around and I won’t complain.  I also love when you pet or brush me.  Or, I could find a great spot near you to sit in the sun and doze.  I am easy to please.  Beauty, talent, and poise, I have it all in the best combination.  Human Vanna White, eat your heart out. 

Of course, these days, I don’t get much time on television.  Instead, I watch the world go by from my PetSmart window.  However, I would much rather rejoin that world and come out to play.  Will you come play with me?  You can spin the wheel and I will purr the answer in your ear so I can go home with you.  Or, we can play with some dangling or rolling cat toys.  Indeed, I am more likely to be tempted to chase a wheel than spin it for you.

Being in the prime of my life, I want to live it, not just dream about it.  And I don't mind sharing the limelight with another feline buddy.  Or, I could mentor a starlet you already have at home.  I would set a very good example for deportment and decorum.   Just think, for less than the price of a vowel, you can adopt me and we can both be big-time winners!  So save your money.  Just come on down to meet me.  You won’t need to buy a vowel to solve this puzzle:  I W_NT A FOREVER H_ME W_TH YOU.  C_ME ADOPT ME TOD_Y.
