Selma, the Cat of the Day
Name: Selma
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Short Hair
Home: Jacksonville, Florida, USA
 
   This is the queen of the house, Selma. I found her abandoned at a gas station when she was a kitten, maybe six or seven weeks old. She was so frightened that I had to put her inside a box just so she could focus on the bowl of food she quickly devoured. I took her home and she hid behind the sofa for three days, then came out one day and jumped in my lap like she had never been afraid.

    It's been true love ever since. She is a great hunter, always elegant, and was a great surrogate mother to another abandoned kitten we found a year later. Selma has her self-appointed duties, which she takes quite seriously. She helps me get ready in the morning - she sits on the side of the sink while I shave, sits on the bed while I get dressed, and jumps up on the dresser while I am grabbing my socks. She's the best cat I have ever had the pleasure of knowing!
