Emmaline, the Cat of the Day
Name: Emmaline
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Maine Coon mix
Home: New Hampshire, USA
 
   My little love is called Little Miss Emmaline Pankhurst Kasmieh, a big name for the little 2.2 pound kitten who came into my life. I named her after a famous suffragist who worked in the anti-slavery movement and was an overall activist who wanted only good for her fellow humans. Emmaline came into my life through a friend who had fostered her after she had been found in a dumpster with her fellow littermates.

    She looks like a Maine coon and weighs in at a very lean fourteen pounds. She was a tiny kitten and could fit into half a Kleenex box and is now the length of two from nose to base of tail. She is very independent and lets me know that she is in charge at all times. She also loves to drink water from the sink and will sit there until I turn on the tap for her. She loves to cuddle with me at night and will sit on my chest purring loudly. She used to have a ground squirrel as a friend (he lived under our deck) she would catch him (mind you with her harness on and on a tethered leash under constant surveillance by one of the family) and carry him by the bum to the door and show me what a great huntress she is, and I would tell her to let him go, which she always did. This would go on all summer and lasted for three summers till one day he was no longer in our yard. She is my little fur daughter and brings great joy into my life.
