Liz Waterman & Lydia

I put my name on a waiting list at the Animal Shelter after my Siamese cat, CoCo, had passed away. My favorite breed of cat is Siamese.

One and a half years had gone by before my visit to the animal shelter to meet Lydia. She had a beautiful black face and blue eyes. Lydia was timid at first, due to her history of being chased by dogs. Since I adopted her, she’s calmed down and is more friendly, although she is still a one-person cat. She is devoted to me and sits on my lap most of the day.

As a three-year-old cat, she will probably outlive me. But that’s okay, she’s a great companion. I enjoy watching Lydia play with her one and only toy—a broken rubber band. She plays with it for hours!   - Liz Waterman
