Nanette, the Cat of the Day
Name: Nanette
Age: Six months old
Gender: Female
Kind: Tortoiseshell
Home: Brookline, Massachusetts, USA
 
   Nanette made her way to me by chance and now I think it must have been fate. I decided to adopt a kitten through a local organization that places stray and abandoned cats and kittens with foster families. I saw an adorable Russian Blue kitty on the organization's website and immediately forwarded my adoption application - but someone beat me to it. When I spoke to person in charge of adoptions, he described another available kitty named Nanette. His description of her as an affectionate and playful kitty who would love to be an only cat peeked my interest. I went to meet Nanette at the next adopt-a-thon, and fell in love. All of the other kitties were squirming, meowing and fussing while Nanette quietly sat and allowed her brother to chew on her tail. Once I held her, I knew she was the perfect kitty for me and she came home with me that day. Nanette is an incredibly curious kitty. She is fascinated by water and thinks that my shower and bathtub are the best things since catnip. She also loves to sit on my shoulder and watch television with me. And while she only weighs about three pounds, she has a huge appetite for people food, especially any dish with chicken. I could not have chosen a better roommate.
