Sylvia, the Cat of the Day
Name: Sylvia
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Female
Kind: American Tabby
Home: Edgefield, South Carolina, USA
 
   Sylvia, Julius (my Persian Kitty) and I moved to South Carolina from mid-town Manhattan a few years ago. It has been quite a change for all of us, but, Sylvia has refused to adapt... she remains a true New Yorker, as seen in this picture. I just know she's saying..."Get over it! It's faux fur!!!"

    Sylvia is a true New Yorker with attitude to spare. She is very independent, only coming upstairs to sleep at night if she deems it cold enough for her. She has made it very obvious that it is her house and she has allowed us to remain only because she enjoys playing with us. Her favorite game is whacking Stella ("her pet" Maltese, four years old) on the nose and teasing her because she can't jump on the chairs. Being a city girl, now living in a small town, she missed sunning herself on our 16th floor terrace, so, I had a small screened in porch built for her so that she can watch all the birds she never knew existed. That she enjoys!

    Julius, (another "pet" for Sylvia...my six year old Persian) the sweetest, most gentle animal, almost asks permission to sun himself on the porch if "her highness" is out there. But, if either Julius or Stella have to spend the night at the vet's, Sylvia walks the house all night looking for them and will allow me only a view of her back until their return. I think she really loves us.
