Penny, the Cat of the Day
Name: Penny
Age: Fifteen weeks old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Shorthair
Home: South Carolina, USA
 
   Our cat's name is Penny and as you can see, she is really just a sweet little kitten. Can you imagine someone abandoning this wonderful little creature who was found by my wife while walking one morning? We tried unsuccessfully to find her owners and happily took this little girl kitten into our family. She shares her petly duties with another seven year older sister and they get along very well romping and playing all the time. Penny was about ten weeks old when the photo was made and is now about fifteen weeks old and will soon visit the vet to be neutered. My wife and I had forgotten how much fun a kitten could be. She plays with her pet mouse every morning and loves to chase "Da Bird" around the den. Her antics bring great joy to us and in her quieter moments, she loves the security of our laps to snooze and purr loudly. She also likes to play "ambush" pawing at us from under a bed as we walk by or hiding on the stairs waiting to "attack" as we pass. Penny got her name from the copper colored "shawl" around her neck and on other parts of her body. But don't let her name fool you! We wouldn't take a million dollars for our new found girl kitten and watching her grow and develop into a mature cat will indeed be a very special experience for us.
