Amber, the Cat of the Day
Name: Amber
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Tabby
Home: Buffalo, New York, USA
 
   This round, watermarked, shorthaired orange tabby lady goes by the name Amber, after the stone. She came into our life as a malnourished one- year-old SPCA kitty over two years ago. She looked so much like a cat we had previously owned that we thought it must be fate. From the day we took her home, curled up in my lap, she has been nothing but a joy in our life. Amber, for her first year in our house, was the only kitty. During this time she perfected the role of the spoiled, supermodel cat. A year later she was humbled, and not so pleased at first, with the arrival of our second cat, Romeo. Today, however, she loves to torment and tease her little brother with the love only an older sister could show.

    Amber's hobbies include sitting on her aqua cat seat in the sun-room pining over birds and squirrels, pouncing and wrestling with her little grey mouse toy (before batting it under the stove for me to retrieve over and over), finding and nesting in freshly washed laundry until she has sufficiently covered it in fur, and chasing and ambushing her brothers around the house. Amber does not want to believe that she is a cat sometimes, taking full part in dinner conversations from under the table and yelling right back at you when being disciplined. She is so vocal with her booming meow that it is hard not to believe she isn't telling you a story of some kind.
