Paikea

Paikea is the family's sixteen year old pet we got in June of 2007, five months after Princess died. She's an outdoor cat so we barely see her. She doesn't get along with dogs or other cats.

She loves eating meow-mix and will only play with yarn of string. She also loves chasing rats and birds. When she is in a happy mood, she will rub against you and give you kisses.

Her favorite spot to get petted is on her back and she likes it when I scratch her ears and cheeks and under she chin. She means a lot to me and hope to keep her when I move to England of college.
