Callie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Callie
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Tortoise Shell
Home: Southeastern Pennsylvania, USA
 
   Callie is my "baby." I got her from a co-worker whose cat had kittens. My cat, Max, passed away in May of 2005. I adopted Callie in November of 2005. (She was born on September 9, 2005.) She was shy at first, but now rules the roost. She waits at the door when I come home from work. She has a perch and a bed on the floor next to my bed that she sleeps in. If she wants to play, she will do anything to get my attention. She knows when I'm getting her a bowl of canned food because she follows me into the kitchen. When she was just learning to get up onto the table, she would steal food off your plate if you weren't paying attention. She can be a bit of a 'monster' at times, especially when she runs through the house for no reason, but she's so sweet and cute you can't stay mad at her. She shows the dog, Bojangles (a ten year old Yorkie) who's boss. She has also gotten nose-to-nose...err beak with our bird. Monty is a sulphur crested Cockatoo. Callie climbed up onto the apron of his cage and was greeted by Monty. (We were careful to make sure neither of them did anything to each other) We recently got a red eared slider (turtle). Callie just stared at him because she never saw a turtle before so she didn't know what to think.

    Callie seems to know when I'm down. She is more affectionate like she knows. She misses me when I'm gone too long. She is helping me to stay sane (as much as I can be) and sober (I'm a little over seven months). I am thankful for her as well as everyone else in my life.
