Starlet, the Cat of the Day
Name: Starlet
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Maine Coon
Home: Milford, Connecticut, USA
 
   Starlet is a two-year cancer survivor. She was diagnosed with Feline Sarcoma; a virulent cancer believed to be induced by immunization injections. The lump was removed and biopsied in February of 2001 and she is still here after given million to one odds that she would survive a maximum of six to nine months.

    She is an exceptionally pretty cat with a somewhat unpleasant personality at times. One minute she is purring while being petted, and the next minute, her ears are back and she is in bite mode. We call her Latin name "caticus biticus," but she is our lovely girl. Our favorite nicknames for her include La Gata the Snotta, but we treasure the moments when she allows us to love her, purring away with pleasure. She is a survivor, and a beauty.
