Pet of the Week: A Kitty Named Ms. Kitty

She's looking for a home.

This beautiful green-eyed lady is named Ms. Kitty, and she’d like to make her home with you. Ms. Kitty—surely you can come up with a more original name for this lovely domestic longhair—is a 5-year-old spayed female. At 5, she is past the destructive kitten stage and into the nice, calm, lap-sitting age but still young enough to enjoy playing and interacting with her people for many years to come. Brush her coat two or three times a week with a wire slicker brush to keep it shiny and tangle-free.

To see Ms. Kitty and get to know her better, visit her at Orange County Animal Care, 561 The City Drive South, in Orange. Her ID number is A 1073877 and she is in kennel C045.

Pet trivia of the week: Early cats were tamed but not domesticated. They had what is called a commensal relationship with people, a sort of symbiotic partnership in which people benefited from feline rodent control, protecting human grain supplies, and cats, of course, benefited from the easy food source. The most recent evidence shows that cats became domesticated some 9,000 to 10,000 years ago.
