Capablanca, the Cat of the Day
Name: Capablanca
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Turkish
Home: Istanbul, Turkey
 
   Capablanca's name comes from chess grandmaster from Cuba, it literally means White Cloak. Capablanca came to our hands just one month and two days. We adopted because her old owner was living with a roommate and she happens to be allergic to cats; so we were lucky to have her. The first days were so difficult because she was very depressed and she didn't like us at all. But then after one week she started the peace phase so she stopped bitting me and hissing. After those weeks she started to play with us. She is very peculiar because I spend quite money buying expensive toys that she doesn't even look, she prefers strings and hanging things. This is my first cat and I really love her even she doesn't give me so much love back :) She keeps me company and sometimes (rarely) she comes to me and starts kneading and then sleeps in my lap. Her fur is like silk and I cannot stop myself for trying to be touching her all the time, which she hates and before walking again, bites me or shows me her great tools of torture (nails). She was away for one week with a boyfriend, we found for her and wow the house is not the same without her, you can feel her absence and when you open the door there is none there. Anyway, she is the queen of this house and I will be patient until she starts to love me the way I do.
