This
is my baby, Orange. Isn't she a beauty? She was a stray who wandered
into my yard, and I'm so glad she did. Since no one claimed her, I decided
she was meant to be mine.
She is as sweet as she is beautiful. I don't know her exact age, probably
around eight years old. She got her name the first time I saw her and said to my
son, "Who is that big Orange cat?" From the kitchen window, all I saw was an
orange (more of a rusty-orange) cat. I went out, and said "Hello, orange
cat!" She was so friendly, not scared at all, as if she knew she was meant to
be mine. The name stuck , she became "Orange Cat." Everyone says "she isn't
orange!" when they see her. I tell them she doesn't know that and likes her
name! She knows her name, but also responds to "Gorgeous" or "Sweetie."
I should mention that I did try to find out where she came from with ads, and
phone calls, but no one claimed her. She's a great addition to my cat family
of four. She's the only one that would pose in the Santa hat! She's a ham for
the camera! She truly is a sweet, gentle cat. Her ear was deformed like that
when I first saw her, the Vet said she may have had a hematoma at one time
that wasn't taken care of. It doesn't seem to bother her.
I can also tell the world she is a contortionist! When she plays, she'll
twist her body into the strangest positions! She will play with anything, and
I mean anything! Shoestrings, aluminum foil, and anything that moves. She
loves her cat trees, the top is her favorite sleeping spot. She can tolerate
grooming, but only on her terms, and for a few minutes at a time. When she
gives me that "look," I know it's time to stop.
Orange loves people, she is truly a "people cat." She also likes the company
of my other three cats, although they tend to pick on her. They chase her up
the cat tree, but I'm sure it is all in good fun. An hour later I catch them
sleeping back to back!
Orange is my sweet baby girl, and I love her!
