Nike, the Cat of the Day
Name: Nike
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Orange tabby
Home: Virginia, USA
 
   This is my cat Nike. One reason she is special is that she is an orange tabby female, which are not very common. The even more fascinating thing is that she just wandered onto our back deck one day! We thought she was someone else's and ignored her for a few days. She wouldn't leave and we couldn't find an owner who was missing her, so she stayed. Nike definitely owns us, by the way, it is not the other way around. We can't pet her, hold her, touch her or even look at her - unless she says we can! She is not a fan of cat treats, but loves to grab at string or anything wispy. She has a little brother who is a guinea pig and she does not mind him. Then, there is Chloe, Nike's younger sister. Nike finds her three year old, terrier mix sister obnoxious and dreadful!

    Nike would prefer to sleep and have everyone stay out of her way. While Chloe prefers chasing Nike and telling her how much she loves her:) Nike also had a kitty sister, Adidas (like the shoe brands), who sadly passed away about four years ago, and a big brother dog, Cody, who died last year at the age of fourteen years. Nike had always swatted at Cody's tail when he was well, but during his last months she treated him with respect and would walk around him so she wasn't disturbing him. What a smart and kind kitty she is. We are glad to have Nike and hope that she realizes how much we love her!
