Catarina is a 7-yr-old, silky-coated, dog-like, easy-going, very vocal, very spoiled, cat that we believe is part Ragdoll (really, thats a breed!:).  She loves her sisters, and especially likes playing hide-and-seek with Ashley.      Mike adopted her from the Spay & Neuter Clinic in Tallahassee, Florida.  She is Mike's baby, his pride & joy!  She sleeps on his chest at night, and when he comes home from work, she runs to the door screaming for his attention.      One of her nicknames is "Raa," and is derived from the quiet warning she emits just before she jumps on your lap. She loves to be brushed and will go limp in your arms, just like a Ragdoll!      She is every house-guest's favorite animal, as she will snuggle with anyone who will pet her; and if you don't  toss and turn too much, she will sleep on your bed and keep you toasty warm!

Nicknames: Raa Little Feet Lap Sock Furrier Favorite Foods: Whoppers Cold-cuts Favorite Activities: Sleeping Soccer(with a wad of paper, or a golf ball) Personality: Catarina is a social, vocal, friendly, alert, playful cat who loves human interaction, getting brushed and nestling on laps of willing participants. She lacks the fighting instinct and self-defense skills and often calls Daddy to her rescue when the young Mr. Knightley gets carried away.

Catarina has a basket with a sheep-skin rug that she loves to sleep in. Above: preparing the bed with 'Happy Feet.'
