That is the late, great, Bailey cat. On his head is a bracelet that says "Expect Miracles". When my sister was diagnosed with cancer, my whole family and bunches of friends started wearing these bracelets for her. Her cancer had a median survival of 23 months and we all felt so overwhelmingly powerless. It was a small thing, but something we felt was a way to show her our solidarity with her. Bailey also wanted to let her know he was in her corner.

I lost my Bailey boy, to cancer in fact, in January of 2009. My sister, however, is kicking cancer's a$$ at 33 months since her diagnosis with no uptake on PET scans seen in her tumor for the last 12+ months. Maybe there is something to our bracelets.
