Baby, the Cat of the Day
Name: Baby
Age: Eleven and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Calico
Home: Independence, Missouri, USA
 
   This is Baby. I got her when she was eight weeks old. Last November she was diagnosed with Glaucoma. After several attempts to prevent it from progressing, it was inevitable and I had to make the choice to remove her eye for her comfort and well being. She has made the adjustment well. She flies through the house able to avoid any object placed in her path. Peeking around corners would be her downfall, for her whole head appears before her remaining eye appears. It is cute more than it is sad. Now we only need to work on her weight. Thanks to Fatima, the cat from New York, a former Cat of the Day, I am now looking into thyroid problems involving felines. My little calico 'Baby' has been with me through thick and thin. I love her dearly and there is no possibility of her ever being replaced!!! Though at times I think she would like to replace me for winning the affection of two felines, who came down a long line of out of control feral cats. With a lot of work on both of our parts, me and my 'Baby' seem to have them under control for the most part.
