Gertie the Tonkinese, Maine Coon mix, the Cat of the Day
Name: Gertie
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Tonkinese, Maine Coon mix
Home: Sonora, California, USA
 
   This is my cat, Gertie, whom I adopted in August of 2013. Meeting her was like anything you'd expect when finding the perfect pet, or for what I needed badly, a companion animal. I was standing in the adoption shelter looking at the different cats, and this medium sized black fluffy kitten came to me bearing a stuffed toy in her mouth. She dropped it at my feet, I smiled, bent down for the toy, and threw it, and from then on she had played fetch right into my heart.

     Nowadays, she lays around the house anywhere where it's cooler. She loves chicken and turkey dishes. Sometimes we specially prepare a dish for both of our cats, chicken mashed up on a small glass plate and drizzled in home made gravy or broth. Usually Gertie is the only one who eats this, our other cat just sniffs it and leaves. Ha!! She is a Tonkinese and Maine Coon mix, who weighs 18 pounds and is 30 inches long and 12-13 inches tall. But isn't she gorgeous?

     I also have a deviantART page where I post many photos of Gertie, and her adopted sister, Spot, who is a (female) deaf albino tabby cat. She is more attached to my parents than me, but Gertie is definitely my very closest and dearest friend.
