Mindy, the Cat of the Day
Name: Mindy
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Calico mix
Home: Central California, USA
 
   Mindy is a calico mixture and is a sweetheart all of the time. She loves to watch Turbo, the Beta fish in his bowl and spends hours sleeping with and grooming her brother. She has an awful habit of waking me up at the crack of dawn every day and I never get the chance to sleep in. She lives in Central California with her loving parents Dave and Marilyn, her littermate, Scooter, and the two Border Collies, Lucky and Celine.

    Mindy is a lover and routinely makes bread on my stomach before curling up on my lap. She loves to play with a little catnip mouse that is connected to a string and carries it around the house with her making little throaty sounds and meows like she has just caught something really special for me. She also loves the plastic bands from milk cartons and probably has 50 of them stored under the refrigerator for later use. Her favorite place at dinner time is on the table right next to my husband so she won't miss out on any tidbits he might give her. Doesn't sound very sanitary I know but, when you love cats, a little hair doesn't hurt. :-)

    Mindy fondly teases the dogs by rubbing against them then swatting them in the face when they respond to her advances. She and her brother definitely don't like the door bell or thunder and hide under the bed until the noise goes away. She's quite a talker and is insistent that I respond to her in some way, either by petting her or giving her a special treat such as tiny salad shrimp, her most favorite thing. Every cat has their own personality, something that I've learned from having cats my whole life.
