Isabel, the Cat of the Day
Name: Isabel
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Kind: American Short Hair
Home: Reading, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   I got Isabel as a birthday present for my daughter Hannah's birthday. Little did I imagine how special Isabel would become to both of us. I wanted to make Hannah's fifth birthday special. Hannah has always loved animals and I knew a kitten would thrill her and I think pets in general are excellent for people's emotional well-being as long as they are wanted and cared for. When Hannah saw the tiny 8-wk-old american short hair calico kitten she flipped; and she still dotes on Isabel, two years later. But the bigger surprise was how much I loved Isabel almost immediately. I grew up in a family that didn't like cats so I never had one as a pet. I am continually amazed and delighted at Isabel's sweet affectionate disposition. And she is so beautiful it makes me happy just to look at her. She is a joy.
