Cozy, the Cat of the Day
Name: Cozy
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic short hair
Home: San Diego, California, USA
 
   Cozy was a stray that wound up at the Morongo Basin Humane Society in Joshua Tree in January 2013. I had been volunteering for the shelter for almost a year at that point, but going to visit the kitties had become very difficult for me after having to say goodbye to my 15 1/2 year old kitty Dihedral. She had been the love of my life for so long and sending her to the Rainbow Bridge broke my heart.

    When I finally had a few months to grieve over my loss of Dihedral, I decided to visit the kitties at MBHS. A new kitty had arrived at the shelter and I immediately recognized how beautiful she was. When I took her out of her cage to pet her and play with her, she immediately plopped herself on my lap. The sweet little stray was named Cosette by the shelter staff and they estimate she was about two to three years old. I decided right away that this sweet girl had picked me! There was no way I could ever turn her away. Although I liked the name Cosette and realized the significance of the name, I decided that she was meant to be called Cozy. Cosette is the name of one of the main characters, a poor girl, in the novel Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. Cozy suits my girl much better!

    Our relationship was born and I'm so happy to have her in my life! She loves to cuddle with me at night and we have fun playing ball together every day. Cozy may have been a goalie in her previous life. :) She likes me to throw a ping pong ball (or any other kind of ball) so she can intercept it before it gets past her - just like a goalie! She is quite the character and makes me laugh all the time. I know Dihedral would be happy to see me smile again.
