Hana, the Cat of the Day
Name: Hana
Age: One and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Longhair
Home: Maui, Hawaii, USA
 
   This is my sweet cat Hana, she brings such joy and laughter to my life. She is a indoor cat yet she loves to watch the birds from the many windows in our house. She will run from one window to the next to keep up with the birds. When she gets really excited she does what I call her "Hana Dance" where she hops sideways and then rolls over, it makes me laugh every time she does it.

    Hana was a kitten of one of the feral cats that was rescued by Melody Law. You see she and a friend of hers works with the local Pineapple Company and the Maui Humane Society to trap the feral cats that run in the Pineapple fields of west Maui and they see to it that they are spayed or neutered and other wise taken care of and then released back into the fields to help keep down the mice and rats. If there are females expecting kittens they try to find homes for them, and that is how I got my sweet Hana. So she never was a feral, just a kitten of one. I got her when she was eight weeks old.

    Hana has a very funny personality always running to see the birds and playing with her little rubber balls, she even plays fetch. She sleeps in the windows during the day and with me at night. She hates to be left alone, she always gives me one of those "don't go" looks as I leave for work and then she will just talk and talk and talk when I get home letting me know she missed me. As you can tell she is very loved and she is the sunshine in my day. I love talking about my Hana.
