Moneypenny, the Cat of the Day
Name: Moneypenny
Age: Deceased, 22 years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Calico
Home: Orinda, California, USA
 
   Moneypenny aka "The Queen" aka "The Grand Old Lamb" was a long-hair Calico born 22 years ago in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since that time, I found every conceivable way to spoil her, including special treats, custom furniture, and service suited to her royal status. And, when I married several years ago, my wife joined in, and contributed to the act.

    Although she just passed on, Moneypenny had survived the hazards of living around coyotes, the loss of home in the Oakland hills fire storm, an encounter with a rabid raccoon, a less dangerous but more odorous tiff with a mother skunk, frequent disagreements with neighborhood dogs, and the occasional addition of other cats to our household. But that's not why she was special. She was special because she was my constant companion during all of that time, and a comfort and love beyond any human words.
