Genevieve's Happy Ending

Hello everyone,

Genevieve a.k.a. Optic has been with our family for almost two years. My husband Ray adopted her as a gift to me for my birthday. We came into the Erin Humane Society location to donate money for the cost of the surgery to save Genie's left eye after she nearly lost it in a shooting accident.

We fell immediately in love with the cat that no one else would adopt because she was "broken".

Genie was quiet and friendly in her adopted home at the Humane Society. She gave no hint of the character she really is, nor of her incredible personality. Genie is VERY talkative and lovingly demanding. She will occasionally go on a day long "hunger strike" if she feels that she is due wet cat food rather then her usual menu of Whiska's Meaty Dry Formula. Genie enjoys being cuddled on your left shoulder, pressed up close to your head, just in reach for her to wash your ear and neck. She really loves a good "fight" every morning to exercise her nibbling abilities - which is the only exercise Genie wishes to participate in. We have purchased many different cat toys for her, trying to peak her interest and get her moving around a bit more. Genie looks at them with utter disdain. She will only play with a toy if there is one of our kids at the other end of it moving it around for her.

Here are some pictures of our lazy, wonderful, loving tub of lard for your enjoyment. Thank you for taking such good care of her while she waited for her new home and family.
