Scribble, the Cat of the Day
Name: Scribble
Age: One and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Shorthair
Home: Eagle, Idaho, USA
 
   We adopted an injured, black-and-white female barn cat in 1989 when we moved to Idaho. "Wuss" was the sweetest, best-behaved cat we had ever owned. When she died in October of 1998, we were brokenhearted, and her adopted sister "Helen Wheels" was, too. Less than a week after Wuss died, however, a friend called to tell me that the same barn where we had found Wuss nine years earlier had kittens available for adoption. In fact, my friend had found two very cute striped members of the litter playing in her horse trailer when she went there for her riding lesson. We went for a visit and fell in love at first sight with the female of this pair ("Stripe" and "Stripe-ette"), who we promptly renamed "Scribble."

    I've never owned a tabby before but now everyone tells me they are unusually bright and mischievous, which "Scribble" certainly is. I always wanted a beautiful daughter who loves horses like I do - and here she is! Formerly fat, sedentary Helen Wheels adores Scribble too - and having a rambunctious "kid" in the house has given Helen a new lease on life, not to mention improving her waistline.
