Baby, the Cat of the Day
Name: Baby
Age: Eleven years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Calico
Home: Northglenn, Colorado, USA
 
   This is Baby. When we were teenagers, my sister and I found her in the middle of a road outside Wiesbaden, Germany during a rainstorm. Baby was about two months old and sick and scrawny. We took her home to mom and she became one of the family cats. (Our mom never turned away a stray animal.) We nursed Baby back to health but I don't think she ever got over the fear of starvation since now she's pretty fat.

    After our mom died five years ago, Baby and her one-eyed "Brother" of eleven years, Leon (lost an eye to glaucoma), came to live with me and my husband. They now share our attention with our newly adopted stray kitten, Tricky. Baby was given her name because she loves to be cradled in my arms on her back. She also likes to lay spoon-fashion with me in bed at night with her head on the pillow until I fall asleep. She's always happy to be picked up for some "nuggles" - the ultimate lap cat.
