Precious, the Cat of the Day
Name: Precious
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Himalayan mix
Home: Carlsbad, California, USA
 
   This is a photo of our kitty Precious looking down on the world from our upstairs deck. She was watching the hummingbirds whiz by, completely fascinated. Isn't she a doll?

    Precious loves water and will seek out and drink any water glass that is put down. We attribute this to the Himalayan in her, as we have heard of other Himalayans who like water. At night we have to cover the glasses because she insists on drinking out of every single one! Diabolical! She will only drink the freshest water. We suspect she may be the kitty from the movie "Signs!" In any case, her name says it all - bad habits aside, she simply is precious to us.

    Precious is the true definition of a scaredy cat. She came from the humane society. One day our family decided we needed a dog. We went in to get a dog and came out with a kitty cat. Go figure! Anyway, when we brought her home she was clearly freaked out by the whole shelter/new family experience. She went and hid under the bed for ten whole days. When she finally came out she was the sweetest cat ever, very loving and appreciative.

    Precious only eats dry cat food and loves those Temptations treats. She will sit in front of me every morning and keeping rubbing me, jumping up on my lap demanding attention until she gets those. Only then is she is off to get in her eighteen hours of sleep for the day. Must be nice!
