Clio, the Cat of the Day
Name: Clio
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Shorthair cat
Home: Venice Beach, California, USA
 
   Clio is approximately eight years old (shelter adoption, so exact age unknown). She is able to look comfortable no matter what she does, as seen in this photo. Clio is a "people cat" who seeks out human companions and always wants a person to cuddle up with. She tolerates the presence of her housemate Chaos, but really warms up to anybody who is willing to sit down on the sofa and will lick any exposed skin. She has also figured out how to pull back the covers on the bed, get her nose under, and tunnel in. That's where I find her most mornings.

    She has learned to ignore even the most expensive cat toy. Her preference is to knock over my office wastebasket at night and find herself a nice balled-up piece of paper, which she will then carry upstairs where I can hear her playing, and bat it all over the living room floor, into the hallway and sometimes back down the stairs. In a pinch, Clio can create a toy from anything, and seems to prefer things that make noise. Soda bottles, socks, and even an old pair of ski goggles have become "victims" to her search for new and different playthings.

    She loves watching the birds in the birdfeeder. It's a home theater for her. Clio is quite vocal. The most vocal cat I've ever had. She makes her demands known. We love Clio.
