One thing that’s been difficult to figure out in choosing a Cobb County Courier Cat of the Day from the Cobb Animal Shelter website, is whether to focus on cute cheerful looking kitties who are more likely to get adopted, or sad, frightened or shy ones that might not have as much appeal, but are in need of a loving home so they won’t be frightened and sad.
So I’ve decided to divide both the Dog of the Day and the Cat of the Day into Happy and Sad categories for a total of four posts per day. When looking at kitty facial expressions happiness or sadness is in the eye of the beholder, so your impression might be different. But this one looks excited and happy to me.
The Cobb County Courier’s Cat of the Day in the Happy Cat category, selected from the Cobb Animal Shelter website, is a domestic short-haired tabby. According to the shelter staff her temperament is sweet.
She has not been named yet, and will be eligible for adoption December 13 (tomorrow).

Remember, in adopting a pet you are bringing a new family member into your household, so only do it if you are looking for a forever feline partner.
