Maggie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Maggie
Age: Fifteen years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic short hair
Home: Stoneham, Massachusetts, USA
 
   Maggie was adopted at twelve weeks old from the Animal Rescue League. She is now fifteen and just as healthy and happy as the day she came to us. Maggie is a total lap cat who could be carried around all day and be perfectly happy with that. If you are sitting, anywhere, she is on your lap. She is the matriarch to our tribe of five, although it really isn't in her nature. She is gentle and easy going and just loves human companionship. You could not find a more affectionate, gentle girl than Maggie!

    Maggie is very sociable. She hides at first when people come over, but comes out shortly to check them out and make herself the center of attention. Maggie is polydactyl and when she was young would use her 'thumb' like an opposable thumb. She enjoys playing with the laser light and laying on the deck when the sun is out for long periods. She has always been on the quiet side, but like a shadow as she is always wherever you are!

    Maggie spends the nights with us in bed and comes up by my head fairly early in the AM to get attention, petting and loving. She can't go too long without it! Then she follows me downstairs and waits in her 'spot' under one of the kitchen chairs for her breakfast. She thinks she is too good to eat where the rest of the cats eat. Then she just hangs around waiting to see what I am going to do next. If nothing exciting or interesting is happening, she will go off to one of her many beds throughout the house and take a nap. She loves watching the birds outside and did I mention, getting attention!

   Maggie is the quintessential lap cat!
