   My cat is the sweetest and friendliest cat I have ever known or owned. She is more like a dog in the way she follows me around the house, jumps in my lap to watch a movie, waits for me in the window when I get home from work, and doesn't mind getting wet. She likes to drink water from a running faucet and will jump up on the bathroom counter and wait there forever until you turn on the water.

    I adopted her while I was in graduate school and she saved my life. During that time I was working full time and going to school and lived alone. I spent so much time studying that I was about to go crazy when I got home and no one was there to greet me or talk to me. I adopted her after her previous owners moved and left her alone in the house with nothing to eat or drink. The real estate agent brought her to the Humane Society, which is where I adopted her from. As soon as they took her out of the cage, her sweet nature made me realize that she would be an important part of my family. And my mother treats her like her grandchild! I had always wanted an orange kitty to name Sunshine and since I felt the name she already had (Tigger) was more for a male cat, that is what I named her. Everyone says it is uncanny how much that name fits her personality.
