Akasha, the Cat of the Day
Name: Akasha
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Cat
Home: Saratoga, California, USA
 
   Here is my kitty, "Akasha." She's very affectionate, loves to chase her "mousies" (the little toy fur mice from the pet store), and she loves to drink her water from the bathroom faucet! She's appears to be a mixed breed, but I think there's Abyssinian and Burmese in her. Akasha likes to play fetch with her mousies; only the small toy furry mice will do, she doesn't bother with any other kind of toy. That is other than the laser pointer. She knows that by the sound its chain makes, and gets very excited when it's time to chase the red spot around the room! She doesn't seem to care about catnip, either. That's including some fresh grown.

    Akasha is very affectionate, although shy of new people. She has her own round bed which she sleeps in next to me, but by the early morning hours she usually is sleeping right on top of me. When she sits on the bathroom sink she will answer me with a meow when I ask her if she wants water; she just loves to drink out of the faucet. But for whatever reason she is terrified of a spray room freshener; just pick it up and she goes running. When she was six months old she also loved to drag socks out of my hamper and leave them by the front door. I think she was using them to lure me home *:)

    Why is she special? She came into my life shortly after my first cat (Izabella) died. I had had her for nearly 20 years. I adopted Akasha from the local humane society and she seemed to know there was a void to fill and warmed up to me very quickly.
