Callie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Callie
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Calico
Home: Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA
 
   Callie's dad loves her so much that he made two cat ledges for the screened-in back porch. She likes to bask in the sun whenever she gets a chance. She's afraid of so many things and her hiding spot is in the guest bathroom under the double sink. She is so good at opening doors that when she hears the doorbell ring, her tail is already disappearing under the sink! Even in warm weather, Callie likes to crawl under the covers with mom to read. She and her cousin Mac have definite nighttime "duties" consisting of a good tussle, a run down the hallway, and then they both find a good spot for the night. She likes to run ahead of us and fall over and then get a good tummy rub and back scratch as she scoots around the floor on her side - sometimes completing a circle!

    Callie and her cousin Mac like to be shown numerous times each day where the food bowl is - like they could ever forget! Both Callie and her cousin Mac came to us with declawed front paws - but she still uses the cat scratching post to get in a good stretch! Callie and her cousin Mac were both born in North Carolina and were with their first parents from six months of age. When their parents had a baby boy, who was allergic to cats, the cats had to go (we didn't understand this because the cats were there first!). They spent part of a North Carolina summer in a garage with access to the outdoors. We have seen the former parents at weddings and baby showers, and assure them both cats are fine.
