Debbie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Debbie
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Cat
Home: Blue Springs Missouri, USA
 
   We got Debbie at eight weeks old. Just couldn't walk past her cute little face. She's a sweet girl who's not always keen on being picked up or petted. She does drop to the floor and roll over for belly rubs but just as your hand almost touches her she makes a giggly trill sound and zips a few feet away. Oh well, it's hard to pet the wind!

    Debbie's favorite activity is to go out in the back yard and try to catch moths. The white fur on her face turns a powdery dark gray from moth dust. She also tells us every day when it's exactly 5:15 and that she's expecting dinner now. She doesn't meow very often tho, she makes more of a chirpy sound when she wants something.

    Debbie has a skin condition called eosinophilic the makes her mouth have sores or sometimes her inside back legs lose some fur and feel rough. Dr Espey at Crain veterinary takes very good care of her. She has to get a shot about one a month and eat a special prescription food. She so badly wants a bite of the forbidden people food. The item she wants most is angel food cake. I try to let her have a bite every few months even tho she probably shouldn't have it.

    We got littermate Kevin the same day we got her. They wrestle and run thru the house but he's so much bigger than her that she tires of the games pretty fast. We love Debbie even with her gazillion dollars in vet bills! She's our sweetie every day.
