Sweetpea, the Cat of the Day
Name: Sweetpea
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Manx
Home: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
 
   Sweetpea is our little angel cat. She came to us right after our 17-year-old ginger tabby named Maile passed away. We weren't looking for another cat but when our niece introduced us to Sweetpea, we were swept off our feet with one look at that little face.

    We live in an apartment in the west end and our little girl loves to sit in the window and yatter at the birds that visit and taunt her from the trees outside. In summer, she sits on the balcony (under strict supervision!) and enjoys the sunshine and keeps an eye on the squirrels and birds that watch her very closely. Of course, she has the most comfortable chair outside, and the most comfortable chair inside as well. She sits on her rump to watch tv beside her daddy and especially enjoys golf and hockey.

    At night she sleeps on our pillows and we, of course, wake up with kinks in our necks but dare not disturb her. She also enjoys biting toes in the night and it's not unusual for one or the other of us to wake screeching as she darts away in the dark. She will only drink water out of glass bowls placed strategically around the apartment and reminds us when they need to be cleaned and filled. She enjoys the milk out of cereal bowls which has caused some embarrassment when visitors find her sticking her head demandingly in their breakfast.

    She's such a soft little fluffball. She is our little princess and there is nothing we wouldn't do to ensure her comfort and enjoyment of life every day!
