Cally, the Cat of the Day
Name: Cally
Age: Eight months old
Gender: Female
Kind: Calico
Home: Gary, Indiana, USA
 
   Meet Cally, a pretty little calico who was brought to us by a feral, Frankie, that lived in our back yard. Frankie, whom we took care of and is now finally part of our indoor family, showed little Cally how to get in our fenced-in yard and had her pose in the flower bed. At the appropriate moment, he made sure she meowed so I would not miss her in the dark. I am sure he knew we would take her in, even though he was not ready at the time to join us. We have strong suspicions that she is his daughter.

    Cally is such a silly thing. She purrs like a Mac truck, careens off the walls, and chases her ping-pong ball in the bathtub, banging from one end to the other. She races from window to window chittering and squeaking at the squirrels and birds outside. Without a doubt, she is the live-wire of our kitty bunch. Since she spent two days in the bathroom before I let her meet the other kitties, she considers the bathroom her very own. She sleeps in there often and always demands to be let in whenever someone shuts her out. She is also a wonderful companion to Frankie. When Frankie finally decided he wanted to be a pampered kitty and join our family, she patiently showed him the ropes, encouraged him to play, and took him on tours of the house. Cally definitely helped him feel comfortable and made his transition easier. She's sweeter and prettier than any flower that ever grew in that garden.
