Ginger, the Cat of the Day
Name: Ginger
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Maine Coon calico
Home: San Diego, California, USA
 
   Ginger is a sweet girl I adopted from the shelter last year. She has many nicknames such as Snuggle Buns, Love Muffin, Furry, Ging and The Ging. I was looking for a cat to keep my fourteen-year-old Maine Coon / Persian mix company and thought Ginger would be the one. They have not totally hit it off, but they tolerate each other. Ginger loves to play with her toys and run around the house back and forth. She is not a cat that likes treats, but she always wants to sniff them when I hand out the treats to my other cat, Manning.

    Ginger likes to find cozy places to sleep, such as the baby's bassinet or her barnyard gym. Baby has two more weeks before she makes her appearance into this world, so in the meantime I have to hide her stuff from Ginger. Ginger loves to snuggle for five minutes in the morning and in the evening before retiring to the chair next to the bed for her sleep. Ginger loves to snuggle when I nap and must get constant love or she will meow at you until you pet her. I have a tree outside my bedroom window and Ginger loves to sit in the window and watch all the birds that frequent the tree. She also likes to chase bugs out on the patio.

    I cannot imagine dropping off this wonderful bundle of joy at a shelter, but it was meant to be that we came together. I hope that my new baby and Ginger will get along and make a peaceful transition!
