Brianna Maree, the Cat of the Day
Name: Brianna Maree
Age: Nine and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Dilute Calico
Home: Bear, Delaware, USA
 
   My name is Bri. You may think I look a little odd wearing clothes, but three years ago, I got in a fight with a Brown Recluse Spider, and the spider won. The skin between my shoulder blades was severely damaged by the spider and I have had three surgeries to try and repair my damaged skin. After wearing a cone on my head for a year and ace bandages around the back of my neck, my owner decided to start buying baby onesies and cut the bottom off so that I can wear them as a T-shirt. This helps remind me that I have a very itchy neck, and that I should not scratch it, because when I do, I cause a lot of damage to my neck with my rear claws. I have been to several doctors that have tried to help prevent the itchiness, but unfortunately medicine does not help. The shirts, do, though.

    I also love to wake my owner in the morning by sneaking up on her bed and reaching out my paw to tap her nose. When she opens her eyes, I make a cute little squeak and roll around so that she knows it is time to get out of bed and spoil me rotten! Lately I have been having trouble breathing, so my owner took me to see the doctor again. My heart is in pretty bad shape and everyone is very concerned. I know that my owner will do what is best for me and I love her even more for that. I am enjoying every minute I have with her and all the extra tuna she feeds me.
