Abby, the Cat of the Day
Name: Abby
Age: One year old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Shorthair Torbie
Home: West Reading, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   Abby came to us as a wee little foster kitten. I knew from the moment she walked in that she'd never walk back out. Oh the way she looked at me; it was so intense and loving. She'd cry for me when she didn't know where I was, and I cried the day I dropped her off at her first adoption event. I knew I could never let her go. So she stayed and to this day she looks at me with those eyes, and I melt.

    Abby is my little girl with a big personality. She isn't afraid to make her voice heard or her opinions known. She is my lap cat, my nap buddy, my computer helper all rolled into a six-pound body. I smile just to see her, and she comes running when she hears my voice.

    For such a tiny girl, she sure can push around her big brothers (she's six pounds, they are all thirteen to twenty pounds!) and she can eat more than any of them combined. If I can't find her, a simple shake of the cup with treats has her running from whatever hidey-hole she found. Then she looks at me with those eyes and eats each treat, as it's individually hand fed to her.

    Abby has my heart wrapped around her little paws. That's ok, I wouldn't have it any other way.
