Likes:
Being petted so she can whistle her nose and give head rubs. Stomping on the keyboard and licking my hands while I type. My fiance's knee. Attention in general.

Pet-Peeves:
Catfights. She gets mad and tries to break them up by attacking the aggressor, which usually just makes things worse.

Favorite Toy:
She prefers other kitties.

Favorite Nap Spot:
Anywhere we can hear her nose whistle, especially if she's sitting on someone.

Favorite Food:
She doesn't care much about food; she has to watch her weight to stay close to Mr. Peebles, the world's smallest cat.

Skills:
Peculiar small size, nose whistling instead of purring, sighting bugs with her big green eyes.

Dwells:
indoors

Arrival Story:
Cali was born to a litter of three that was communally raised with another litter of four, and she was the runt of all seven. When she started walking she just loved to follow me around, and yet I couldn't think of a name that suited her better than "Cali" and it stuck. As the kittens got older I would sometimes let the 5 bravest come in and have a slumber party with me. I'd stay up all night with them and then let them out in the morning... except after a few times Cali never wanted to go in the morning! She loved our big cats and she loved it inside and she loved being with me, so pretty soon she started having 2 day sleep overs with run of the house.... eventually she refused to ever leave our house. We're glad though, because she's a fine miniature addition to our family.

Bio:
Cali is the sister of Hannah, who is mother to Lucky, Nat, and Heidi, so she's a very good little aunt, even though she's technically the grand niece of a lot of our other cats. Now that all the kittens are almost a year old she's by far the smallest cat we have, and it's a little embarrassing. One time she was sick and when the vet weighed her she was only 4 pounds! She has so much sweetness packed in that tiny body though, and she's started to come out and hound our guests for pets, so others are getting to see her sweetness, too!

Adventures in Illness

I've been very sick on and off the last few months. Well, not as sick as Riley was when he couldn't walk for 4 days, but still not feeling very well! It started out as a little fatigue and it got to where I didn't feel like doing much of anything. I just might have been more tired than my human, Lindsay! I even stopped keeping my fur perfectly groomed, I was just too tired! (That'swhy I have old man fur in my latest picture!) I've felt sore in my left ear and throat, too, and my tummy felt a little more acidic than usual. They took me to the vet and thought I might be diabetic! I was pretty sure that wasn't it, but lots of expensive blood work points to a bad infection, like toxoplasmosis! Now I have to take bitter medicine every day like Riley, only since I'm an adult I have to take the stronger version and more of it! I hate getting my medicine, and I kind of hold a grudge against Lindsay for an hour or two after each dose... But I am starting to feel better, so maybe it's worth it. But a whole month? Yleck!

Oh! I also got to help Cricket get along better with the other cats... But I'm not ready to be buddies with her until the other cats are convinced she's changed and accepting her as a sister again. The last thing we need around here is more drama!
