This
little grey girl came into my life when she was a year old. I had
initially wanted a cat back when I was a college student. However, I
realized the semi-nomadic life of a student wasn't the ideal situation -
since most of the apartments weren't pet-friendly. However, that didn't
stop one of my neighbors from dropping off a one-year-old cat at my
apartment. I took one look at her, weighed the possibilities and went,
"Okay, I'll take care of you now."
It has been fourteen years since. She has been with me through thick and
thin. Wherever I went, I took her with me. I think she always knows that
no matter what happens in my life, I would do my best to take care of her.
In return, she has provided me the laughter, love, and the companionship
any person would want. She has done some very amazing things. I normally
don't try to make my cat any more "human" than she is, but she really is
special.
There are times when I have felt sad and hurt, she was right there to be
my teddy bear and pillow, purring while I held her close. Another time she
just went up to me and held my hand! She was closing her eyes and purring
- almost smiling, her paw kneading around my fingers just to let me know
things were going to be okay. I reminded her where her nails had been as
she was cleaning them, and she just stared at me for a full minute!
She's been through a lot of miracles - overcoming kidney disease and
crystals to even a growth on her back. The vet commented to me on how
healthy she was. She's gotten a little bit cranky over the years at
people, but I am glad she is still here, going strong. Even when cranky,
she is extremely forgivable. She is very loving to me. My current and past
roommates have said they've seen her come down when they hear the garage
door opening and she calling me. She is my Cat of the Day every day in my book.
