Sunny, the Cat of the Day
Name: Sunny
Age: Deceased, 13 1/2 years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Calico
Home: Santa Cruz, California, USA
 
   Sunny Cadenasso is her name, she was thirteen and a half years old and died last spring. She was a very special cat, I and my daughter got her when my daughter was only three years old back in fall of 1994 from the neighbors down the street. My son, now nineteen, still remembers coming home from kindergarten and seeing this new cat sitting on one of our dining room chairs. My daughter decided to name her Sunny because we got her on a sunny day. We built a cat house for her up on the roof because that is what she liked to call "her area." This cat has been the happiest and most patient cat throughout both of my children's lives here at home. She always let everyone pick her up and pet her and play with her no matter what. She stopped hissing when she was about two years old and just learned how to have fun with everyone in the house. She became best friends with our dog Sparky who ended up dying just a few months after we had to put Sunny down. Throughout her life she had to put up with a lot of stuff that my children did with her.

    She was a great cat all the way up until we had to put her down because of kidney disease. She lived for over a year with kidney disease and the doctors said that she would be dead within months of telling us that. She always loved to play and had lots of energy and love.
