Fannie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Fannie
Age: One year old
Gender: Female
Kind: Tortoise shell
Home: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA
 
   Fannie Louise is currently one year old, but at the time of the photo about two months old. Fannie is my little life-saver. I was inconsolable after the unexpected loss of my eight-year-old cat, Jerry. I realized I would need a kitten in my life to force me to move on. Fannie was listed in the newspaper as being at a pet grooming place and I drove over expecting a white calico, as that was how she was listed. To my surprise she was a black calico, or tortoise shell, but I fell in love with her.

    Fannie is a talker! Even from the first day she came to my home, she'd let her opinion be known on everything. She's a very affectionate girl. She got the Louise part of her name, being named after a good friend of mine who always told me stories of her orneriness in her young days.

    When I got Fannie I still had an elderly sixteen-year-old male cat. At first he was not a happy camper about the intruder but in no time at all she won him over, even to the point he shared his beloved meat food with her! Everyone who meets her thinks she's special.
