Namaste, the Cat of the Day
Name: Namaste
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Siamese, Calico mix
Home: Phoenix, Arizona, USA
 
   Namaste, which is a Sanskrit word that means "I salute the divinity within you." is pronounced Nah-mah-stay and is used by people who practice yoga. The vet said she's probably a Siamese/Calico mix. I found this sweet baby when she was about four months old bouncing in the Colorado snow one January morning. She was about four pounds then. She took one look at me, one look at the open door and made a run for it. She ate about three bowls of food and chugged a bunch of water. I never found anybody looking for her, so she's mine now! She's losing some of her wacky kitten ways. Phew! She used to try to climb curtains and such. Now, she's a purr monster. Sometimes she just sits around purring for no apparent reason. Namaste moved to Phoenix with me about a year ago. She's my best friend here and always has a happy meow for me. Nami (as I sometimes call her) is a spoiled, rotten baby, but I love to spoil her! She has tons of toys and is the queen of the house. Namaste's hobbies include watching the birds eat outside the window and munching on fresh catnip. Namaste is very vocal and talks up a storm! I adore her beautiful blue eyes and wonderful coloring. She also wears her special claw caps called Softpaws, which are a humane alternative to declawing. She thinks they are a sassy fashion accessory and is now vying for a diamond-studded collar. We shall see... Namaste is very sweet but does have a little bit of a princess attitude. She's quite stunning and isn't afraid to flaunt it! I feel so blessed to have her in my life. I love her so much.
