Mona Lisa, the Cat of the Day
Name: Mona Lisa
Age: Five months old
Gender: Female
Kind: Tabby Point Siamese
Home: Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
 
   In October, my roommates and I were painting our house when we saw a man walking down the street with a very tiny kitten at his heals. It turned out that it wasn't his, he was just trying to find out where it came from. We took her in and put up posters, but were very surprised when nobody claimed this beautiful kitten. The very first thing she did in our house was run through a pan of paint and track it all over the floor. That's how she got her name. At the time, she was two pounds and estimated to be ten weeks old. After a week, she and our other cat were acting like long lost pals. Mona has got to be the sweetest cat I've ever seen and even more devoted than any dog. She sleeps on my neck every night, follows us from room to room, and her favorite perch is on your shoulder. She even has enough balance that you can walk around the house with her up there. Her tail is so funny because it always curls around her paws, or up on her thigh, or around your neck if she's on your shoulder. Sadly, a while back, Mona started getting sick. It was found that she has feline leukemia. I hate to report that she may not be with us for much longer, but we will all cherish every moment that she is.
