Chloe, the Cat of the Day
Name: Chloe
Age: Nine months old
Gender: Female
Kind: Shorthair
Home: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   I went to the Humane Society to buy a cat. I saw Chloe sitting in the cage just looking around, while her brother and sister fight over the food dish. I picked her up and laid her on her back in the palm of my hand. She put her head back and looked around. I knew that I wanted this kitten. We brought her to our new apartment. While I unpacked all the boxes and put the empty boxes aside, Chloe played with each one. The first night at the new apartment with a new kitten, she slept on my neck and purred all night long. She was so happy.

    A few days passed and I came home from work, Chloe greeted me at the steps. When I looked at her, her eyes were very watery and she had snot coming out of her nose. I knew then that something was wrong. She was weak for a few days. I took her to the Emergency Cat Vet and they diagnosed her with a respiratory infection and she had a parasite in her eyes. They gave me medication to give her. It didn't seem to work. Her infection got worse. I again took her to the Vet. Her temperature was really high for a cat. They gave her a shot and gave me more medication for the infection. A week later she was fine. I didn't think Chloe would make it. I'm glad she did. She is the most wonderful, kind and loving cat. She loves to play with her Taco Bell dog. She gives kisses like a dog would give you. She'll do it to anyone. I'm glad that Chloe made it through her infection. I don't know what I would do without her.
