Since Caturday is a thing that I can get behind, I'd like you to meet my cat, Petunia.
This is just a typical day of me sitting at the computer trying to do everything with my little girl happily relaxing on my lap. If she's not there, she's usually snoozing on my left shoulder.
Petunia was rescued from animal control when I used to live in Michigan. Animals were given 15 days and then.....no more days ever. Fortunately for her I found her and what sealed it for me when I saw her was an uncanny resemblance to a much older cat we had at the time.
She is approximately 13 years old and sweet as can be. She has her front claws and has no problem letting me them or her back claws. She usually purrs a bunch and her front paws are usually "swimming". It doesn't hurt that she gets plenty of attention to make it more bearable.
