Sida, the Cat of the Day
Name: Sida
Age: One year old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Medium Hair
Home: Massachusetts, USA
 
   Sida is just over one year, though she was four months in the photo Sida is one of a pair of sisters. I brought them both home from the North East Animal Shelter in Massachusetts at four months of age. The shelter wanted to send them home together, and who was I to argue? Her name comes from a 16th century Moroccan woman pirate named Sida al Hurra. She is the calmer of the two, and quieter - she rarely meows. She prefers to expel a little puff of air that's not even quite a chirp to get my attention, and follows me from room to room when I'm home. When I'm putting on my makeup in the morning she likes to sit on the sink and very solemnly watch what I do, and sometimes reach out ever-so-gently as if to say, "You need a little more eyeliner."

    Her favorite activity is to ferociously attack the legs of the chairs in the dining room, and she likes to lie on her belly with all her legs splayed out. She's an absolute sweetheart, and she and her sister helped heal my heart from losing my Sere at sixteen years.
