Cala Lily Harper Cooper a 4 month old Domestic Short Hair Calico. Currently she likes to climb and hide in the Christmas tree. And snuggle in her Notre Dame blanket.

Cali was found on Harper's Ferry Rd. by our grandchildren's neighbor Bobby Watson of Funkstown, MD. She was covered with mud, under lots of brush and weighed less then a pound. It was a wonder her tiny cry for help could be heard. Although she hissed and clawed at him he took her home to clean her up and then to the vet. The vet had said the kitten would be mean, but he was wrong, she was just frightened! Bobby and wife Julie would have loved to keep this bundle of joy except they have a senior cat who wasn't ready to accept a rambunctious little character. Our grandkids Laura, Kevin and Sean, knowing that we had lost our precious Patches about a year ago to cancer, volunteered us as parents. How glad we are that they did.

Cali is a loving "snuggler" and quickly became part of the family. PJ, our 8 year old tabby, has become a doting 'big brother' and playmate. Corky, our 4 year old Keeshond, doesn't mind having her around as long as she leaves his wagging tail alone, which most times is too tempting to resist. She is our wild child and has enriched our lives as God obviously intended.
