Booboo, the Cat of the Day
Name: Booboo
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Orange Tabby
Home: Exeter, New Hampshire, USA
 
   This is Booboo, one of our nine cats. Boo is about eight years old and weighs about eight pounds. We rescued her from the Stratham, NH SPCA when she was six months old. She was a homeless kitty & was so petite and tiny that the SPCA staff thought she was only a month old but the vet said her teeth were that of a six month old kitty. Her name was originally Ginger when we got her. Once we got her home we saw that she had a kennel cough/cold and was real sick & lethargic. We nicknamed her Booboo after Laverne and Shirley's stuffed kitty because she was so sick. A trip to the vet and medicine soon made Booboo all better. The nickname stuck after that.

    Booboo is 1000% Daddy's girl. I have never seen a cat love a human as much as Boo loves her Dad. When Dad comes home Boo is on the porch meowing till Dad gets in the house. Then she follows him all around the house. When Dad takes a shower, Boo is waiting in the bathroom for him. Boo can be sound a sleep on a shelf and if she hears Dad sit in the recliner she is on his lap like lightning. If she hears Dad going to bed, she's there. Boo isn't content to just sit or fall asleep, not until she purrs and rubs and sings till she is exhausted. Wherever Dad is in the house it's for sure Booboo can be found with him.

    Booboo's favorite activity is to go outside for a walk on a leash. When she sees me get the leash down she cries and rubs on my legs until I get the harness on her and away we go.
