Snickers, the Cat of the Day
Name: Snickers
Age: Deceased, 18 years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Calico
Home: Rialto, California, USA
 
   Snickers was always a shy cat and acted like a kitten her whole life. She lived for 18 years. When she was very young she used to hide behind the drapes and we would have to drag her out to be with people. When she was about a year old she went to the house next door that had a swamp cooler with an opening in the top. She jumped up on the cooler and fell in. The big drum in the center rotated and she rotated with it and ended up between the bottom of the cooler and the drum. She was there for two days before she was discovered. I thought I could hear her little mews but could not figure out where they were coming from. Thank goodness the neighbors didn't turn the cooler on with her in there!!

    Snickers was a long cat. She measured 38 inches when she was completely stretched out. She had a long body and short legs. Her long fur made her look really low to the ground. I felt really sad when we lost her. She was such a meek and trusting cat.
