About Us
Clementine, the Cat of the Day
Name: Clementine
Age: Eleven years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Shorthair
Home: Manning, South Carolina, USA
 
   We adopted Clementine from the SPCA in August, 1987 when she was eight weeks old. She was named by my husband after the song Oh, My Darling Clementine, because I kept saying how darling she was. Our two year old cat, Scamper, did not think she was so darling. Clementine was determined to make friends even when Scamper ignored her and hissed at her. Clem's persistence paid off, and today they are inseparable and are the best of friends.

    Clementine definitely thinks she rules our household, so her nickname is "The Queen." She is the boss of the two other cats and one Chihuahua (who thinks he is a cat too). Clementine's favorite activities are playing with the "Cat Dancer," sleeping in her rocking chair, flopping in the floor right at our feet to get our attention, and curling up with me and my husband when we watch TV. She is also the only animal in our home who will come when my husband whistles.

    Clementine is our most social cat and really enjoys it when we have company. She obviously knows what a beautiful cat she is and likes to show off for an audience. She is a constant source of joy and entertainment for us.
