Cat: Coco

Owners: Molly & Sean

Appearance: A

Coco is a long-haired tortoise shell cat. She is mostly dark brown and black with spots of orange, including one over her right eye that has perfect tabby markings. She also has a tuxedo marking on her chest. She has beautiful green eyes and a huge bushy tail that she flicks around to show you what kind of mood she’s in.

Sociability: A

When people come to visit or stay with us, Coco will be all over them and/or their suitcases. She is very talkative and will chirp and purr and roll over when anyone addresses her. Actually, she’s kind of a flirt. Human gender does not matter—she will flirt with anyone. 

Usefulness: F

I consulted Sean, my husband, on this category and he said “zero.” I informed him that the lowest the scale goes is one, so we compromised on that number. I guess she is good if you want your chest warmed, but otherwise she is pretty useless. She also is in love with Sean and sleeps next to him, sits on his lap, etc. which annoys me because I LOVE HER MORE THAN HE DOES. And once she got fleas and then gave them to the dog, which is not useful at all. So maybe there should be a zero. 

Huggability: C

Coco doesn’t necessarily enjoy being picked up, but she will tolerate it (especially if you are Sean). We can cradle her like a baby for a few minutes, but she is happier napping on your lap or next to you on the couch or bed. 

Overall Grade: C+

Sounds nice, considering adopting one of these.

The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra is set to premiere in 2012.

This is my favorite local Chicago landmark…The Shit Fountain.  It is both a pile of shit and a fountain.  Makes total sense to me.  Wolcott north of Augusta in the West Town, Wicker Park, Ukrainian Village neighborhood (depending on who you ask).  Summer sightseeing!

I love Chicago.
