Lil Bit, the Cat of the Day
Name: Lil Bit
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Shorthair
Home: Roanoke, Virginia, USA
 
   Lil Bit is also known affectionately as Mangy Cat. I got Lil Bit (named that since she was a little bitty kitty) from a neighbor whose cat had kittens. She was the runt of the litter and couldn't get the milk she needed, so I bottle-fed her. Needless to say, she doesn't think she is a cat. She has moved with me from Pennsylvania to four different homes in Virginia where I met my husband. She will sit on the end table by the front door waiting for him to come home. If I come home first, she will look around me looking for Bill. He has her so spoiled now. She comes when he clicks his fingers or when he calls her (Mangy Cat). She likes to get into bed with him when I get up.

    Lil Bit doesn't act like an adult cat now either. She never played much until Bill came along. Now she plays all the time. She likes jumping out from corners to attack - wanting you to play with her. She will run up behind me and nip at the back of my legs when she is in attack mode. She mooches treats from Bill all the time, especially Donut Sticks and cheese from a can (but only the sharp cheddar, please). She never meowed until he moved in either. Now she talks to him all the time. She is our baby and deserves recognition. She is our Cat of the Day every day.
