Molly, the Cat of the Day
Name: Molly
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Tuxedo
Home: Arlington, Massachusetts, USA
 
   Molly is very friendly and enjoys playing, exploring, climbing, attention, and playful biting.

    She's very social, but not often in a lap cat way. She's more into always being around, interacting, purring and getting petted but always moving, circling, exploring. When I get home she's right on the other side of the door, immediately rolling on her back to get her belly rubbed. She's very curious, she likes to get up on the desk when I'm using the computer and watch the screen (she's learning not to step on the keyboard.) Whenever I open a closet she will jump right in. She's not really disruptive but likes to participate in just about everything, in her own way. She is very affectionate, likes nose to nose contact, and being scratched under the chin, but again, likes to keep moving.

    She likes scratching cardboard boxes but not cardboard scratchers. She loves sisal. She'll wake me up in the morning at her usual feeding time if I try to sleep late, sometimes with a paw in the face - the only time she didn't do this recently I found she had got herself inside a wicker hamper, the lid closed. She will play fetch with a catnip mouse or fish for a while -- I can toss it and she'll bring it back to me, until it ends up under something. She will start this game herself, dig out a toy that went missing days earlier and want to play. Her other "trick" involves climbing something that is I'm trying to discourage her from climbing.

    It's only a matter of time before she'll be able to open the kitchen cabinets. She has the right idea already, but isn't yet strong enough for it to work.

    Molly is now two years old and has certainly grown, but is still very curious, friendly and loves to play. She enjoys "stick and feather," and "fetch" with a little fish or mouse toy. She likes to climb, especially if she's thinks she's not getting enough attention. Sometimes, watching TV, you will see a paw over the top, then a nose, then the other paw as she scales the back to steal the show. She can be very vocal at times, especially if she thinks you're sleeping through her breakfast. She will knock my glasses off the nightstand if it comes to that. At other times she could teach us all a thing or two about napping.
