Lovey, the Cat of the Day
Name: Lovey
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Tabby mix
Home: Austin, Texas, USA
 
   Lovey came to me via the Town Lake Animal Shelter in Austin several years ago. I wanted a cat with certain established personality traits: friendly but not constantly needy; not a destroyer; uses the box every time; gets along fine alone during the day; and who has a history of tolerating other cats and other dogs.

    Lovey was the most personable of the cats available the day I went to the shelter, greeting every person that walked into the room. Her beautiful blue eyes made a big impression on me; I once had two chocolate-point Siamese cats with blue eyes whom I loved dearly. According to her foster mother, Lovey delivered a litter of kittens when she came into the shelter. She mothered them until they were adopted. The foster household had both cats and dogs in it. She was estimated to be 2 1/2 years at that time.

    Lovey has been an absolute joy. I call her Queen of the Tabbies. She loves to sit on the porch and laze in the sunshine each morning. In the evening she sits on my lap and licks my hand while I pet her, then she hops down and sits at my feet and cleans herself off. Her favorite toy is a plain-old white tennis shoe lace a friend got her interested in when she was cat- sitting Lovey while I traveled. I glued that shoe string to a wooden dowel and made it a magic cat wand of fun!

    Just don't scratch her back near her hips; she'll get a cat-crazy look in her eyes and start gnashing her teeth; if you keep it up, she will whip her head around to bite your hand! She will clamp down lightly but she has never broken skin - well, maybe once. Just don't scratch her back there and all is well!
