Coco, the Cat of the Day
Name: Coco
Age: One and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Shorthair
Home: Ashburn, Virginia, USA
 
   I first saw Coco in North Carolina where my parents reside. They have a woods that backs up to their home and they always have stray wild cats that they feed. When I was visiting, I saw that one of the cats had had kittens and this little black and brown furball was perched up on the porch. Every time we tried to go near her, she would jump and run away. I was undecided if I wanted her because I had just had to put my purebred cat down due to an illness with no cure. Well I came back home that weekend and I would keep calling to see if they had any luck going near the kitten. Well one day my mom called and said that her and my dad had caught her, my dad went around the side of the house while my mom tried to approach her, when my mom got close, the kitten leapt into the air to escape and my dad stuck a net out and she jumped right into the net. Poor thing, I know.

    Well they got her inside, cleaned her up and drove her up to Virginia to me. She used to be so tiny, but with some good food and attention she is up to nine pounds now. She is a complete mess. She is into everything. She eats constantly and plays with her food too. I love her very much and I am glad they rescued her from the woods where she might not have survived for very long. She sleeps with me every night on her side of the bed and she is always waiting for me when I get home from work. She is always my Cat of the Day here at home.
