Cat Picture of the Week: Ginger
Saturday July 5, 2008
My cat is a calico, she's named Ginger and was born on April 06. My parents-in-law's neighbors had adopted this little cat, but unfortunately, the wife appeared to be allergic to cats' hair so much she had to take medicines several times a day to fight her allergy. They were about to give the kitty back to the association where they had got her, when we saw her and found her lovable, very nice and she came to us to get caresses. We decided to go to the association with the owners of Ginger so that they introduce us to the person caring for the cats. The woman was very happy Ginger would find another family right away (she had stayed only 1 week with the neighbors family). When she was younger, she loved playing like a dog; we would send a fluffy toy ("piglet," from Winnie the Pooh cartoon) and (she) would bring it back into her mouth so that we send it again, and again...
We then moved from Paris region to the Loire Valley region (we're French) and into a new apartment where she could go out in the courtyard (closed one. . .read more.

Ginger is a very striking example of a calico, with a lovely harlequin-like mask on her face. Her photo will appear in a new 2008 May Calico Cats Gallery, then will be saved for a future gallery of Cats Around the World. My cat pictures of the week are selected, first from the monthly calendar cats gallery, then from random photo submittals, but only from photos submitted with the Photo Submittal Guidelines.

Ginger is such a beauty! I’m glad to hear she has found her forever home.
Her colors are beautiful and vibrant! A wonderful example of a calico pattern.
What a beautiful kitty! I have a calico named Ginger also…I’m glad your Ginger has found a home with people who love her!
Ginger is very beautiful! I should think she gives you much joy. I also have a calico tuxedo cat that came to me over a year ago a few months after my husband passed away. I named her Callie and had her spayed and vaccinated. She has been a comfort to me and given me much joy and laughter. She is an inside/outside cat and gets along with most of the feral cats outside. Sorry I’m saying so much about my kitty, when yours is “Picture of the Week” and very deserving!
