Kafer, the Cat of the Day
Name: Kafer
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Chocolate Point Siamese
Home: Wappinger Falls, New York, USA
 
   Kafer is a beautiful Chocolate Point Siamese. What makes her so extremely special to me is that she was the most comforting human being when I lost my 3rd child to S.I.D.S. over eight years ago.  When the baby first came home from the hospital after being born) she would sit all the way at the other end of the bassinet, as if to guard it. When she didn't hear the baby's cry, she knew right away something was wrong. When she came up to me while I laid on my bed (I spent a great deal of time in my room during that moment in my life), she sniffed me and could smell that I was very upset and knew why. It was so amazing how she knew something was terribly wrong. I had only had her just under a year and she had never come up to me. She was only two years old when I got her and never ever purred. That's when Kafer started to jump up on to my bed and give me kisses (licks) and purr as if to say it's going to be okay, I'm here to comfort you.

    Ever since the baby's death, she's been very close to me more than to my fiancé. When my first marriage fell apart, once again Kafer was there to make my days brighter. She's ten years old, but plays like a frisky four-month-old cat. I don't think I could have made it through all those bad years of my life without her. She gives me more kisses than to my fiancé, but she does adore him. I'll never forget her and she'll never forget me. We spoil her constantly. She is the daughter we'll never have. I only wish when we marry in December of this year, we could have her with us.
