Angel, the Cat of the Day
Name: Angel
Age: Two and half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Shorthair
Home: Orlando, Florida, USA
 
   Angel was rescued from the woods of Missouri as a four-week-old kitten. The rest of her family was unfortunately killed by a wild animal, she was the only survivor. I believe that I misnamed Angel, as you can see by the picture she should be named "Queen Angel". She is spoiled and she knows it. She has her own little perch by the back door where she "protects" us from attacking squirrels. She sleeps on a duvet which she so kindly shares some space with her humans. I can spend all the money in the world on cat toys but she would be happy for the rest of her life if I just give her hair ties. She thinks she is a dog because she fetches the hair ties and will even come to the door to see who is there when you knock.

    Angel is unique and has a great personality. She even talks. If you call her name she turns and looks at you and meows, it almost sounds like she says "what". If you are eating, she will come and smell it to make sure it isn't something she wants. If it is something she wants or at least wants to try, she will sit there until you give her some. Aside from keeping the squirrels from getting in through the glass doors she loves to sit in front of the iguana cage and watch him for hours. Angel is my heart and I would never trade her for anything in the enitre world. She will always be my baby, as independent as she may be. "As every cat owner knows, no one owns a cat."
