Lucy Pooter, the Cat of the Day
Name: Lucy Pooter
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Brown Tabby
Home: Olympia, Washington, USA
 
   About a month after the loss of my beloved cat, Sophie, I began the search for a new kitten. During a visit to the local animal shelter, I found myself captivated by a lively tiger kitten with absolutely perfect stripes. When I took her out of the cage, she climbed immediately onto my shoulder, purring loudly as I signed the papers for her release. Lucy Pooter (so named for an initial digestive problem) integrated easily into our household. At two, she is the leader and instigator of all mischievous acts. She learned early on that an emphatic "No!" followed by wild clapping means virtually nothing, as her antics always end up charming whoever is trying to discipline her. She's not what anyone would consider to be a lap cat, but she is very companionable and communicative. She loves to play and even her cat siblings seem awed by her spectacular acrobatics.
