Marsha
This is Marsha. She’s incredibly fierce and keeps picking fights with cats that are four times her size. She likes destroying stuff, anything from bits of string right up to entire pieces of furniture. Apparently Marsha means ‘Dedicated to Mars, the God Of War’, so she’s aptly named.75 Comments »
How stinking cute!!!!
Marsha Marsha, Marsha……………
Marsha, Marsha Marsha!!!
Must be short for Marsha-mallow tummy… so soft.
I’ve always liked calicos. Is this like an all calico/tortishell week going on?
Marsha is gorgeous. Calico’s are sometime called torbie and she definitely has the TORBIETUDe that calico’s have.
“Oh, my nose!”
Yes, Marsha, it’s very cute - along with the rest of you! Calico kitties are the best.
Oooh, she doesn’t looked pleased! “I vish to bee alohn”
Hello Marsha!
What a pretty girl. Love her little toes..
“How’s this pose, Mom?”
Gets ‘em everytime!
*PATCH QUILT FUZZ*
Marsha is a beauty! I love the patches of color on her little white legs. She is just too much for words.
Hi! Fuzz Family
Marsha made me immediately smile! And, the position of her front paw is very Super Model-like. What a doll.
She ees fierce supair-modele.
What a BEEEEEAUTIFUL kitty. I just lover her little face….
All these kitties make we want aother kitty….
Thank you all for sharing your little loved ones!!!
Kitties always look like they are smiling this one looks like she is saying You looking at me? Marsha the Princess of Bad Catitude.
“Do you feel lucky today, punk?” (says Marsha)
Even the fierce ones are too cute for words.
Marsha Warrior Goddess Fuzz. She definately looks as though she is in command! What a beauty!
oh yes, those calicos are stinkers!
Ninja Fuzz
Marsha is a beauty… but I know what you’re talking about when you say “fierce.” I used to have a calico named Patches… she was ALWAYS ready to rip everybody and everything to shreds!!! Life will not be dull for you… so just enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
’she likes destroying things’ sounds like the cats I know-but love
she’s so beautiful and very cute!
“DO YOU FEEL LUCKY?” FUZZ
ohmygoodness! I got almost the exact same thought! Same movie anyway… “Go ahead, Two-legs! Make my day”
Awww. . .feisty little calico! And such a beauty! I love the little black tufts at the tips of her ears! She will be a lively little companion for you, I hope for many, many years. Love her always.
She does look so fierce! Like a lion or other large wild cat. My Gracie is a dilute Calico and she definitely rules the roost. What is it about being tri-colored that gives a cat attitude? Must be that they feel superior to all the poor mono and bi-colored cats out there!
Go get ‘em pretty Marsha!
CUTE! Calicoes have attitude and I’m sure this sweetie is no exception! She’s a beauty.
She looks mad!! lol Cutie though - she has the colors of my Molly who is as gentle as they come.
I grew up with a “difficult” calico. My mom named her “Precious”—-oh, the irony. And my neighbors have a temperamental calico. I didn’t realize that calicoes had that reputation. But,–I don’t know what this says about me–I LOVE snotty cats! So much character. I want to squish them even more .
DON’T MESS WITH ME FUZZ!
What a cute katkin! I love that black smudge by her nose — makes me wonder what she’s been into (like a kid with jam around the mouth!)
I lurve little calico kitties. This one is especially adorable and yummy. Look at the little tufties on her ears. Look at her little muzzlepuff.
I just want to hold her and squeeze her and play with her little jellybean toesies.
ARGGGHH. Too cute.
I thought this was funny….

Marsha is overseeing her newly aqcuired realm, Sofa City. Her Calico Battalion awaits her next order.
PATROLING THE MARSHA-LANDS FUZZ
She looks like a huntress on the prowl…… Marsha, goddess of war.
I have such a weakness for calico cats, it’s not even funny.
And judging by the description, she’s just like the little calico I had to give away last year, Harley. (She used to pick on my big cat, and he’d proceed to sit on her head. >.< )
Adorable. Can I have her?
What a cutie. Her markings are so pretty. Sounds like she sure is some destroyer. Cleo started out the same way but mellowed out, thank goodness.
Dee, my answers were all c’s based on how Domino was. I tried giving both he and Taffy treats at the same time. Domino would swallow his whole never tasting them. Taffy would chew his slowly so slowly in fact he would only eat one and Domino would polish the rest of them off. I had to give them treats in separate rooms after the first few times.
Oh, that kitty is ADORABLE! You can tell from her face that she is a little mischief-maker monster, though! That’s calicos for you!
What a cutie-pie. I love calicos and have one of my own. She “found” us on a cold day in November and moved right on in. They say that calicos are like Hershey bars - half sweet and half nuts. It is the absolute truth!
That is very nearly the cutest kitten I’ve ever seen - second only to my own feisty, sassy tortical (? a little calico a little tortoise mix), Jasper. I love the sassy cats!
Calicos are the best. Ours was Cissy White Paws and there was never such a fierce and loving cat. She helped me raise the children and sucked on their ears, had her own travel case for the airlines under the seat baggage (you could do that back then.) and live with her person until she died at 19. Never again will I have a calico like our CWP because there will never be another Cissy. Marsha looks close though!
Does anyone in the community live in Wisconsin?
What a caring and progressive alderman.

*Rescuers to carry oxygen masks for pets*
APPLETON, Wis. (AP) — Pets here will be breathing a little easier now that local rescuers will be carrying oxygen masks designed for animals.
Six Appleton fire trucks and 13 ambulances will be equipped with masks intended for use on dogs, cats and other small animals.
Alderman Richard Thompson initiated the program after he saw a newspaper photograph of a firefighter in Superior giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a cat rescued from a house fire.
“A pet is family to most people,” he said. “I know I wouldn’t want to lose Maggie, my collie, or Lucy, my Tabby cat, to a fire, carbon monoxide poisoning or Lord knows what else.”
The money to pay for each $49 mask came from donations by local animal lovers.
“It was something to see,” Thompson said. “There was no organized solicitation effort. People and community groups just read or heard about the program and stepped up to the plate.”
The masks, which come in three sizes, will be distributed to each of six fire stations and to the Appleton Police Department K-9 unit, he said.
The Madison Fire Department carries similar masks on its seven ambulances, said Lori Wirth, the department’s community education officer.
The Madison department also bought its masks with money raised from unsolicited donations, she said. In fact, the department raised so much money it was able to buy mask kits for several neighboring communities.
Wirth said the department’s firefighters haven’t had to use the masks yet but they’re trained and willing.
“What we’ve done so far is use the masks as a way to remind people to get out of their residence in the event of a fire and don’t go searching for pets,” she said. “Firefighters will care for any pets we find in the event they suffer from smoke inhalation.”

WOW, If only every community had leaders that caring. Unfortunately my boy kitty is so scared of strangers he would probably run back into danger rather than let a stranger near him. Gracie the Calico, on the other hand would want to man a hose and ladder AND direct the rescue efforts for the other two.
She looks a little pist that you are taking her picture. Better keep on eye on that camera !!! But what a cutie !!!
What a cutie..the cattitude is outstanding. Oh to be so sure of oneself…hugs and kisses little one
My 2 Calicos also have tempers (just try taking them to the vet!), but all is forgiven when they curl up on your lap. They are the most loving cats!
……I love the black smudge on her right sided FB………………………………………….
*Torti Fuzz*
Aaaaah! Marsha is such a cute kitty! She must be a warrior princess in disguise. She is adorable!
*Alley Cat Street Fighter FUZZ*
What total *catitude*!
she’s gorgeous and i love her cattitude! LOL! she should calm down slightly once she’s spayed and gets a bit older. but then again, maybe she’s just always gonna be fiesty!
i love her colors and markings and her little spotted cheek is so cute.
that’s cute! reminds me of myself……:D lol…….
She looks like the sweetest little Halloween kit! too cute!
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!
reminds me of a cat I used to hang with (for 19 years) she was fearless up to day she died. But I loved her and she loved me… I miss her - my present meow beast is a huge boy who is a placid as a pillow
How can something that cute be fierce??
Such a pretty yet fiesty little fuzz ball! May God bless you and Marsha always.
The cutest that’s ever been!
Who me?
i didn’t do it!
Marsha is so adorabe! Struts her stuff looks like. Knows who’s boss!
I feeding a Mommy and 3 babes. All babes are different; 1 is a brown tiger, 1 is soft gray tiger like the mother, and the tiniest is a soft muted calico, my favorite. I haven’t been able to pick up 2 of the babes, still a little scared, but Mom and the calico are the friendliest. Hope to find homes for them soon.
Oooh, please be careful with little Marhsa’s string destructions, and other like habits. Digesting any of this stuff can cause our little beauties world’s of pain, and can even be fatal.
Don’t Mess With Me FUZZ!
so cute and chubby looking!!
HI KITTEN
How cute! My cat used to be really destructive, too, until she had a litter of kittens. Then she calmed down a lot and is a really nice house cat. Hope Marsha works out for you, too!
I’ve known calicos who are happiest when they are solitary cats. Anybody else have that experience?
Beauty Queen!!!!!
