Kitty, the Cat of the Day
Name: Kitty
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Calico
Home: Southern California, USA
 
   I was walking to a restaurant with my boyfriend when this tiny kitten came running down the sidewalk in my direction. I didn't want it to run in the street so I stopped and gave it plenty of room to run past. The kitten stopped and sat down instead. When I bent down and called, "Kitty, Kitty," the tiny thing ran up to me, meowing, and put it's front paws on my knees. I reached down to pet her and she jumped in my lap, closed her eyes, stretched out to expose her belly, and purred. She actually smiled!

    My boyfriend and I melted instantly. We put up flyers and asked around for almost three weeks, but no one claimed her. Deep down I was glad. She's grown up quite a bit, but never lost her kitten face. Her favorite thing to do is try to fit into boxes that are too small for her. That's when it's the easiest to get a picture of her. She is incredibly active and keeps our family entertained with her constant lunges and leaps into anything that could be a box or bag.
