Jorja
is a tawny Somali cat who chose me when I saw her at a local cat show.
Her eyes looked deep into mine and it was instant attraction. She was not
going to let me go!
I spoke to her breeder and miraculously, she was available for sale. The
breeder said that I was the only person for whom she came out of her cage.
The minute I held her, she started purring loudly and held out her tiny paws
to touch my face. I was smitten by this kitten!
She was actually nine months old, but is very fine-boned. She is not much bigger
now that she is over a year old. Somalis have longish fur and a tail like a
fox. Jorja's little feet are black at the back and when she walks, from the
back it's as if she is wearing the cutest little baggy pants. I've tried many
times to get a photo of her like that but she moves too fast!
When she came home she just took over. Cat toys are everywhere, and she has
two special favorites. Somalis are very possessive about their toys and
Jorja is no exception. She carries one or the other with her everywhere.
When she eats, there is a toy next to the food bowl. When she drinks water,
there is her toy next to the water bowl (sometimes it is even dunked in the
bowl). When she sleeps, there is a toy right next to her. Sometimes she will
march in to see me, carrying a toy in her mouth and then deposit it at my
feet, and I have to throw it so she can play fetch. She has indeed trained me
well!
She is super everything. Super fast, super energetic, super playful and super
loving. She flies up on to my lap and leans into me, looking up at me with
those big green innocent eyes. Her eyes are always innocent, even when she is
in trash-the-place mode!
She has made great friends with my fourteen-year-old Burmese cat, Monte, but in the
beginning, she terrorized my other cats - Angel Baby and Mimi. They are now
used to her crazy antics and just watch tolerantly as she flies through the
house.
Jorja is an absolute joy and I cannot ever imagine life without her.
