Ashley, the Cat of the Day
Name: Ashley
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Siamese mix
Home: Texas, USA
 
   Ashley showed up in my yard last year and hasn't left. I'm not a cat person but who can resist those baby blues? She was spayed and is in excellent health so someone took very good care of her and then abandoned her. Or maybe she just wanted to move in with me! In any case, I can't imagine life without her now.

    Ashley is not only beautiful but friendly, adaptable, fearless, sociable, resourceful and as calm as a cucumber - even after having been accidentally locked in a closet all night, she sauntered out with nary a meow. She will greet any new person with a leg rub and a roll, asking for a neck scratch, without even stopping to give you a sniff. She's not much of a cuddler but she loves to curl up at my feet at night, though she will have no problem in abandoning me for the feet of anyone else spending the night.

    Ashley has a few quirks - she will only drink water out of the bathroom sink, so I always have to leave it full for her. She only eats dry food that I have to mix specially for her. I bought her a nice scratching post but she prefers to use a wicker plant container. She patrols the yard from the middle of the flower bed, but she has a light step so the flowers seem to be OK.

   I'm so lucky she chose me!
