Lightning, the Cat of the Day
Name: Lightning
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Himalayan Mix
Home: Monroe, North Carolina, USA
 
   Lightning was rescued from a hot car at a flea market three summers ago. And she hasn't stopped running since. She was named for her episodes of streaking through the house, like a bolt of lightning. One of her favorite games is "jumping up the doorjamb." She looks it over very intensely, checks her mark, and then jumps as high as she can, ending in another streak through the house. Someday I fully expect her to turn off the light switch! Her brother, Bear, is camera shy, and one of Lightning's delights is tormenting him by chasing him. Although she is strictly an indoor cat, she sits by the back door every time someone goes out in the hopes that she will get to go out on another "supervised adventure," where she will try to climb a tree (without front claws) or chase a squirrel or bird. But most of her day, when she is resting between runs, is spent in grooming her long white hair. She is a beautiful cat and she knows it!
