Josie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Josie
Age: Fourteen years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Tabby
Home: Brantham, Suffolk, England
 
   Josie lives with me and my other cat Oscar (bit of a shy boy) in Brantham, Suffolk in England.

    I am nominating her because in the last two years she has not left my side, and even during the darkest days she was always there for a cuddle. She and Oscar were my ex's cats when we moved in together, but since he walked out I've been their care giver, and pre-Josie & Oscar I was a cat novice. Over the last couple of years I think I've been trained and we seem to be muddling along very well.

    Josie is a very very friendly cat, the first time I met her she just came and plonked herself on my lap and curled up. She seems to view anyone new as "excellent! a new friend and someone to fuss me!!" The first night I returned to the house after my ex left I was a bit upset, and she curled up next to me in the bed and hasn't left yet. She's always there to welcome me home, curl up next to me when I'm knitting in front of the telly and any job I do, whether it's decorating, gardening, working on the PC, or cooking she is never very far away.

    It's not all angelic behavior - naturally!! We have had broken ornaments (she's the clumsiest cat I have ever met) waking me up at 5 am and a dead mouse in my favorite coat a few weeks ago, but her amazing character just makes it impossible to stay cross with her for very long, if at all.

    Needless to say I absolutely adore her (and Oscar) and hope that I can give them both a happy, safe and secure life, and hope I have them for several more years to come.

   Josie certainly brightens my day every day.
