MoMo, the Cat of the Day
Name: MoMo
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Siamese Cat
Home: Emporia, Kansas, USA
 
   MoMo is my beautiful, intelligent, loving kitty. She is one of the happiest cats I have ever met. She wasn't always that way though. I adopted her from a friend who had rescued her. My friend found her in an abandoned house very sick and close to death. Of course, my friend couldn't leave her there, so she brought her home to meet her four other cats. As some of you may know, Siamese cats can tend to be fickle and hard to please. MoMo did not like sharing a litter box and a food bowl (almost as if she was born to be a Queen), and was always meowing and began to annoy my friend. I was in love with her, every time I came to visit I wanted to take her with me ... and eventually did just that!

    At first I kept her as an indoor cat, and you could immediately see the change in her "kitty aura." She needed her own space and quiet time. But as the weeks went on she began to long for more, you could hear it in her meows, Siamese cats are very good at communicating. I couldn't help but empathize with her need for freedom, and soon started letting her outside for brief moments at a time. I learned that I could trust her, she never went far, and scarcely even left the yard. She is fixed so I didn't have to worry about kittens (even if they are adorable). I think I may have witnessed a cat try to start a fight with her once, and she just hissed and came right home. So, today, she is an indoor/outdoor cat. We don't even have a litter box anymore, which is really awesome! She comes in to sleep, eat, cuddle, and play with my daughter Luna (who is almost two as well). To us, she is much more than a Cat of the Day, she is the Cat of a lifetime.
