Peanut, the Cat of the Day
Name: Peanut
Age: Eight and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Tortoiseshell
Home: Yuba City, California, USA
 
   I wanted a cat and went to visit PetSmart in Chandler, AZ where I used to live. After walking through there and visiting with several cats that were freely wandering through the adoption area I went to look at the cats in the cages. I saw this Peanuty sleeping in a bed in the back of the cage. When I stopped in front of one of the cages this cat got up and came to the door and rubbed against my hand. The information on the door gave her age, name (Fergie) and that she was a female tortoiseshell. I was unfamiliar with this breed of cat. I asked the attendant if I could hold her. The attendant told me that other cats did not like her and this is why her previous Mommy had surrendered her as there was too much chaos in the household. That all happened after Peanut had come home from being spayed. Once that girl was put in my arms that was it, I knew she was the girl for me!

    She talked to me all the way home and one of the things I immediately discovered about her was her extreme curiosity :-) One of the first things I did was change her name to Peanut, she just was not a Fergie. She quickly became my best buddy in the world. I loved coming home to her after work, she fulfilled my life... I loved her and she loved me. Six months later I took in her Calico sister Missy from neighbors who were going to be moving. Though they are not cuddle Peanuties they certainly love each other and play endlessly. I will have had Peanut with me for six years in January. We moved back to my home town area in California three years ago and life with Peanut has continued to be joyful. She was readily accepting and loving of all my friends and family members. She especially has a very close relationship with my eighteen-year-old nephew who adores her!

    It's so hard for me to imagine her being given up by someone, but their loss was the biggest gain in my life! She is so entertaining, playful, charming, inquisitive, loving and is the best friend ever!
