About PhotoThe first time I saw Elizabeth’s picture on the animal rescue site I knew she was the one. And come on, a cat named Elizabeth? Who could resist? Her story captured my heart. She had come to the rescue two years before as a three-month-old skittish kitten. She was shy but sweet and a few months later a family adopted her. A few weeks later, the family returned her because they said she wasn’t cuddly enough (insert gasp of horror here). All of the volunteers at the rescue adored her but warned me that she didn’t “show well.” When I went to meet her, she hid under a sofa but still let me pet her. I didn’t care. I knew that she was the one for me. Fast forward a year and a half and she’s become a total love bug. She loves to be pet and she LOVES to play. Her favorite toy is a catnip salmon sushi that she drags all over the house and will chase for hours. Who says you need a dog to keep you moving? One day I walked 2.3 miles and did 22 flights of stairs playing with Elizabeth (she’s really good at chasing her sushi but not that good at bringing it back).
