Saima, the Cat of the Day
Name: Saima
Age: 21 months old
Gender: Female
Breed: Tabby-Domestic Shorthair
Home: Chicago, USA
 
   This is my cat Saima (pronounced "SY-mah"). Her last name is McGee. I adopted her from the Chicago Anti-Cruelty Society in April, 1999.  Back then she looked like a Skinny Mulligan (as you can see in the photo that shows me holding her on her adoption day), but now she looks much healthier and happier. When I first held her in my lap, she overflowed with affection and cuddliness. What a sweetie! She's still very cuddly and enjoys getting her head and neck "scritched."  Saima loves to play. She'll pick up her favorite toy, "Wormy," then she'll bring it over to me and drop it at my feet with a "meow?" All other cat toys take second place to Wormy, especially when it's been rolled in dried catnip.

    Here is a brief list of what makes Saima so special and wonderful: her ability to catch Wormy in mid-air with her front paws; she can let out a meeeeooooww for seven seconds straight without taking a breath; she loves dried squid kitty treats; when the sun shines on her coat, her light-brown fur looks almost peach-colored; she sleeps close to me at night...I thought for sure that the first pet I would get for myself as an adult would be a dog, but I'm so glad I adopted Saima McGee the Cat.
