About Us
Lulu, the Cat of the Day
Name: Lulu
Age: Eight months old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic
Home: Utah, USA
 
   While visiting our friend in a terrible area of town, we noticed a persistent meowing coming from the old abandoned apartment above. We decided to break in. Inside this apartment we found this tiny baby, who was entirely too skinny and frail (we could see her spine through her coat), and who's voice had turned from a healthy meow into an old lady-like scratchy whine. She was beautiful, with marmalade colored eyes that were crossed from lack of vitamins. The people who had lived there had moved out and locked the kitten inside the apartment. When we took her to the vet, we were told that she was four weeks old, malnourished and had developed a vitamin deficiency from not eating or drinking anything for at least seven days. Needless to say, we now have a very healthy, happy, loving eight-month-old baby who we've named Lulu, but we call her our Love Bunny. She's a chaser. She chases your toes under the sheets, she chases her "best friend" Mable (our other beautiful baby), she chases hand shadows, and, of course, she chases her tail. She and Mable have become the loves of our lives. It seems her bad fortune turned out to be our blessing in disguise.
