Jasmine, the Cat of the Day
Name: Jasmine
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Siamese mix
Home: Vancouver, Washington, USA
 
   This is Jasmine, the beautiful Siamese mix kitty cat that I adopted from the Humane Society of Southwest Washington last year. Jasmine lives with my parents now, as they recently lost their cat "Billie Jo" that was their faithful feline companion for seventeen years. My parents are 80 years old and they love Jasmine with all of their hearts. Jasmine loves them in return, and she is the perfect pet for them. Neither my mother nor my father can sit down on the sofa or on a chair but Jasmine is immediately up in their lap purring up a storm. She follows them around the house like a puppy and the folks love to spend time with her every day playing 'fetch' with her many cat toys and grooming her with her brush.

    Jasmine is extremely affectionate and loves to play with her many cat toys. She especially likes to play 'fetch' with a small ball of paper. You toss the paper ball across the floor or down the hallway, and she goes after it at full-speed. She will then bring it back to you so that you can throw it for her again.

    While friendly to everyone, she simply adores my mother and will jump up in her lap every time my mother sits down, and jump up on her and go to sleep every time my mother lies down to sleep at night, or even to take a nap during the afternoon. Jasmine loves to watch the birds and squirrels out in the back yard as well, and will even chase after them at times, but she seems more intent on the game of playing than on actually catching one of them. It is truly a match made in heaven.
