Caitie’s Gotcha Day!
At the v*t’s office last Saturday morning, Dr. Donovan poured Caitie out of her carrier, looked at her and said, “Oh, she’s a beautiful cat!”
He says that every time.
But I’m inclined to agree with him. Her appearance was what caught my eye when I chose her at the Petco ten years ago today. Then I read the story taped to her cage, which told how she had been found digging in garbage cans for food, and I knew I wanted to adopt this beautiful survivor.
There is more about Caitie at the original 3 Good Cats home page, established in 1996, the place where it all began online for our Good Cats.
You can read a true little story about our Calico Diva tomorrow morning, just around the cybercorner at “What a Good Cat!”. (Caitie’s domain www.CalicoDiva.com also forwards to “What a Good Cat!”)
Continuing our Gotcha Day tribute, our green-eyed lady cat will also be the subject of tomorrow’s Traditional Friday Cat Blogging.
And finally, here’s a re-post of the video that captures Caitie’s personality very well, and proves that she is a Good Cat. Remember what they say: “Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want.” — Joseph Wood Krutch

Happy Gotcha Day!!
We watched your video, and you are very very good and patient to teach your people how to listen and follow you. It took me years to teach the OTW that!
I hope you get lots of great treats and extra brushes and lap time on your special day!

Happy GOTCHA day Caitie-Belle!
I have to agree…all of my cats came to me when they were nearly or totally grown. I often look at tiny little furballs and wonder if that is what they looked like when they were wee little ones. I wish I had been lucky enough to have had them all since birth, so that none of them would have had to endure the hardships that they all once endured. I would dearly love to know all of their life stories.
But concatulations furrs being a purrfect 10!

Happy Gotcha Day Caitie! I love calico cats, and you are a very beautiful calico. And I like your “real” name better than Tinkerbell.
My Mommie says that the kittens at the shelter are very cute and fun to play with, but you really know the true personality of the adults. I am happy you ended up with such a great forever home.
I hope you have fun on your special day!
