Norma, the Cat of the Day
Name: Norma
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Short Hair
Home: Baltimore, Maryland, USA
 
   Norma is a very soft, beautiful, and friendly cat (to me). Though very timid of strangers and loud noises, she enjoys simple comforts enormously. Her favorite time of the day (besides mealtime) is towel time. After I take a shower she demands to lay down on my wet, soap-smelling towel where she rolls around like a young kitten. In this picture she looks very cool and suave, which is not always the case.

    She has been through a lot recently including: losing her very close sister Dharma last year due to cardiomyopathy, making frequent visits to the vet because of the possible risk of having the same disease, and getting adjusted to a new kitten. Norma takes on both roles, mother and baby, depending on her mood and her surroundings. Currently on a diet, she has become very sneaky at trying to steal the kitten's food. Despite this bad behavior, she has lost some of her fat. Once weighing fifteen pounds, she is down to 13.7. I am very proud of her. At the vet, she clings to my boyfriend, giving him a rare chance to snuggle with her.

    Though I had cats throughout my childhood, Norma will always have a special place in my heart. She is my furry baby and I love her. She is always there for me and I for her.
