Jade, the Cat of the Day
Name: Jade
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Calico
Home: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
 
   This is Jade. She is a lovely, sweet calico. She has a very special place in the hearts of myself and my husband because we really didn't find her...she found us. :) We had been baby sitting a friend's cat for two weeks and had just given her back two days before.

    We realized that we missed having a furry friend around and had just started thinking about a trip to the humane society when we were out in our apartment's parking lot and heard a soft little meowing. Next thing I knew I had a tiny, emaciated, scruffy-looking cat rubbing all over my legs and begging for love and attention. After that, there was no doubt about it - she picked us out. After a week of trying to find any previous owners, we adopted her. She has gone from a four-pound starving cat to a lovely, filled-out (ten pounds!), shiny coat calico with a sweet disposition. Her favorite pastimes include romping around the house with her new brother, Six (ten months old, grey tabby), chewing and playing with mint gum, chasing shadows, chasing and eating any and all bugs she finds in the house, playing with Corn Pops and hiding them in Daddy's shoes (much to his chagrin... hee hee), and sleeping in the bay window in the afternoon sunshine. She has a very gentle and delicate nature and is shy around people she doesn't know. But, of course, she always has time for people with a treat. She is extremely affectionate with her Daddy and I, and always loves a good cuddle. I think she's pretty special.
