Toonses, the Cat of the Day
Name: Toonses
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Brown Tabby
Home: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
 
   We adopted Toonses a year and a half ago from the Humane Society. All the other cats were walking around their cages meowing and sticking their paws out but Toonses was all curled up pretending to sleep with her paw over her face but her eyes were open. She was trying to hide from us. She was just too cute so we had to adopt her. We have no idea what her life was like before we adopted her but she was declawed on all four paws and spayed so someone had her for sure!!

    Toonses is not your average cat. She is not interested in playing, she does not jump up on the furniture. She is an indoor cat but when we bring her out in the backyard in her harness she just sits there for hours watching all the birds and squirrels. A bird could hop right by her face and she would not bat an eye. She is just very calm and quiet and that suits us just fine but she does always give a little "Brrrrrrpp" if you ask her a question or touch her.

    When she wants to eat, she sits in the doorway of the kitchen staring you down until you come to add a bit more food to the bowl, however, she won't eat unless you pet her while she is eating!!!

    She brightens up our days and we can't wait to get home where she greets us with a huge stretch and a leg rub!
