Isabelle, the Cat of the Day
Name: Isabelle
Age: Four months old
Gender: Female
Kind: Himalayan
Home: Fort Thomas, Kentucky, USA
 
   Isabelle is the best cat I could've ever asked for! She was a birthday present this year from my boyfriend, who called one afternoon saying he really needed to come over because he had a problem. About an hour later, he showed up at my door, holding a seven-week-old ball of fur! Isabelle has been the gift that keeps on giving... she loves to play, with absolutely anything that moves! She is very snobby though, she won't eat treats (probably to maintain her tiny feminine figure!), and she sleeps with me every night, usually on the same pillow as my head! She also loves to hide under blankets when she sleeps. Then she'll jump out really fast when somebody's feet walk by!

    Isabelle's favorite place to play, though, is in the shower, especially after I've just gotten out and there's still some water running down the drain! She gets in her attack position at the bathroom door, her eyes turn solid black, and she'll run as fast as she can and jump into the shower curtain with full force and land in the bathtub! Then she'll bat at the water droplets that are slowly rolling toward the drain! She's just like having a toddler right now, and she's so active that she doesn't let me sleep at night sometimes because she wakes me up at all hours wanting to play or be loved on. And sometimes I think I'd like to get her a little Himalayan brother or sister, but then she looks at me with those big blue eyes and I know she will always be an only cat! And every day when I come home from work, she jumps up in my lap and purrs like a motor, and it just makes any problems quickly disappear! She's a very happy cat and she makes her mommy very happy too!
