Cali

Cali's mom: No, it's not crazy to say that losing an animal is worse than losing a human; I have to agree with you. I'm widowed, and my 12 year old Siamese is the only companion in my home, so eventually losing him is going to be very traumatic.

Now for brighter things: your cat is gorgeous; I'm so glad you took a young adult instead of a kitten; just look how much love she has returned to you for your generosity of adopting her! I hope you have many many years together. Keep loving each other always.

Cali you are beautiful!!!! You are one lucky kitty, and I agree with your Mommy 100% about adopting you, because I have adopted older cats too, besides kittens. Adults need homes too, and can be just as affectionate as a kitten, and you can love an adult just as much too. I've had grown cats wander into my yard and make me their new mom, and they're wonderful, and took to my household well. I haven't had a single problem with an older cat adjusting to my household yet. Hope you have many, many and many more years together.

GO CALI! You definately deserve cat of the day. It sounds like you have a very special mommy who loves you bunches! I would have to agree that losing an animal is somewhat harder than losing a human. I lost my constant companion of almost 17 years on March 5th. Pet food recall. Squeak and I miss him something awful. Anyway, Cali enjoy your day in the spotlight. You're beautiful!!

I had to write to let you know, that you are correct about losing an animal companion being so terribly sad. I lost my cat Scruffy some years ago, and I realized that she was truly my closest friend. Only another cat lover understood our closeness.

Anyhow, you have found each other and will enjoy many happy days. I adopted a 9-year old Siamese, Star, some years ago and we had a fabulous 6-1/2 years together.

Have a good day.

Cali sweetheart! What a beautiful, sweet, and loving kitty you are! It is so nice to have another kitty from California! You certainly have been through a lot in your life! It was just the right timing when your mommy came to see you and adopted you. Your mom is right: Kittens are great, but so are adults. I am glad for your sake that she adopted an adult. Anyways, Cali, Congrats on Cat of The Day! Have a great day; you deserve it loving girl!

Cali, you are precious! My kitty (Cassie) adopted me when she was eighteen months old, under very similar circumstances. How wonderful that you have a forever home in which you are so obviously loved! Please meow to your Person to join Pet Talk so we can see photos of your joyful life together. Happy Cat of the Day, sweetheart! Purrs and head bops from Illinois.

Cali you are a beauty and delightful to boot. You can tell that you and your meowmie love one another very much. Many happy years together.

What a lovely beauty you are!! Just look at those eyes!! You certainly are repaying your parent who adopted you, with all the love you can possibly give! I think the reason why we may miss our pets so much after they go to the Bridge, is because they love US, completely unconditionally, whether we be fat, thin, good or bad hair day!!! And Cali knows this!! HAPPY COTD!!
