Brandy, the Cat of the Day
Name: Brandy
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Shorthaired Tabby
Home: Williston, Vermont, USA
 
   This is Brandy. We found each other at a local Pet Smart where she was being shown by the Humane Society. It was love at first sight. I knew she was the one when my husband was petting her and she dropped down and showed him her belly. I have never seen a cat do that. Despite people telling me I would never be able to bond with an adult cat, we bonded very quickly. She is sweet, trusting and very eager to please. She still will only show her belly to my husband!

    She has also bonded with the scratching post she is sitting on in this picture. Imagine our surprise when she went right up to it and started scratching it immediately after my husband gave it to her (yes, he made it for her). We figured she had one in her last home - wherever that was. She was found as a stray on the streets of St. Albans. Someone was kind enough to call the local humane society and she was picked up, neutered and put up for adoption. Lucky me! She doesn't even scratch the furniture.

    She is such a good cat and my husband will say it is because I didn't spoil her as a kitten. She loves little toys. She bats them around all over the house. She will come to me meowing away with a toy in her mouth and drop it at my feet. I then will pet her and praise her superior hunting skills. I named her Brandy like the liquor - a warm, comfort on a chilly Vermont day!
