Minnie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Minnie
Age: One year old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic shorthair
Home: Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
 
   Miss Minnie is a gorgeous domestic shorthair cat with huge grey spots, one of which resembles Mickey Mouse ... Note she devotedly wears her Mickey Mouse "ears". Miss Minnie is an intelligent feline who sits on command and responds to her name. She happily lives indoors in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

    I adopted her from a pet shop after she kept on meowing at me and trying to get my attention. Boy, did she! When I brought her home and showed her off to my friends, one of my friends said that her friend just gave away a litter of cats to the local pet shop and one of the cats looked just like Minnie... there are not too many cats with spots that look like Mickey Mouse. So when her friend came over the next day to see Minnie, he was surprised to see the kitten he called Dolly (derived from Dalmatian) happy at home at my place. That same day he gave the pet shop the kittens was the same day I adopted my Minnie. It was meant to be.

    Mischievous and extremely vocal and affectionate, Minnie responds to her name and will sit on command. She loves to cuddle and sleep in the crook of my neck or arm. Now a year old, she knows how to demand my attention. When I step out of my home, and I am in range of her view, she will meow out the window until I come back home. She loves to play with bubble bath bubbles and watch golf. She never stops purring, even after she comes home after getting her shots at the vet. Her love, attention, her beautiful face and her hilarious personality are what make her special.
