Peekaboo, the Cat of the Day
Name: Peekaboo
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Calico
Home: Wisconsin, USA
 
   Peekaboo is my spoiled princess cat. I adopted her from a shelter where she had been left with her siblings in a paint can. When I went to the shelter to choose, I looked at her and her siblings (I wanted all three but was unable to). Her markings made her stand out. When I was elsewhere in the room talking to the owner of the shelter, I turned around to see Peekaboo, with her little paws up on the cage, staring at me. I turned back to the woman and declared, "She's coming home with me!"

    Peekaboo is a very bright little cat. She can sit on command, has excellent name recognition, and, since she does not go outside unsupervised, when she wants to go outside, she will find her leash, and drag it to the front door, (sometimes up to the second floor if I'm up there) and will howl until she gets her way.

    She is every little girl's dream cat (even though I'm in my thirties) as she loves to sleep in my arms like a doll. She also allows me to trim her front claws with very little fuss. Possibly because she knows that treats will follow.
