Aaron, the Cat of the Day
Name: Aaron
Age: Four months old
Gender: Female
Kind: Cat
Home: Brookings, South Dakota, USA
 
   This is Aaron - she's a female (with a boy's name, I know! She had a tough start in life. She was born into a family of 35 wild farm cats on a cold Sept. day in central South Dakota. She was very small and socially rejected by the other farm cats. Luckily, she decided to make a change in her own life. On a cold frosty morning, a very small thin kitten with no chance for survival, wandered onto the steps of a house near the farm and cried. The lady living there took her in the house and asked me if I wanted a kitten. I found out the farm dog chewed on her like a toy, causing many injuries in her tail and skin. I wasn't planning on having a wild farm cat for a pet, but I took her to my home, a 150 mile journey for Aaron.

    After just five weeks with our family, she has learned how to sit, fetch, and come to snapping fingers. She has two dog pals, Austin and Laddi, and I suspect she thinks she might be a dog. She plays, and eats, and sleeps and follows the dogs around the house and yard. She has gained a sparkle in her eyes, and Aaron is getting bigger and stronger every day. Her eyes are bright, she purrs and plays, she loves to sleep on the sheepskin pillow with the dogs. She likes to hang onto the tall dog around his neck and swing like a necklace and go for a ride! Aaron loves the laser light game too. She likes car rides, strangers, dogs, and cuddling.

    Aaron is a special cat. I feel good that I saved her life, and I am sure she knows it. She tells me thank you every day with her eyes and purrrrrrrrrrrrr...
