August 2010 Pet of the Month - Meika Olsen

Jodi Olsen has always loved animals, but has never owned a cat before. Her family have always been "dog people." When she recently bought her first house she decided she was going to jump feet first into cat ownership. On her way home from vacation in Chicago on July 4th, she stopped at a friend's farm near Jesup and picked up Meika. Meika was born on May 1, 2010. Jodi's sister also became a cat owner that day with another kitten named Coco. The other names Jodi's friends wanted to call her were Optimus Prime and Bella but as Jodi was boating one day the name Meika popped into her head. She loves running laps around the house and racing up and down the recliner. She is still very curious and likes to peek into everything. Meika makes friends easily when people come to visit. She will cuddle on your lap or sit next to you on the couch to keep you company. Meika has come in to visit Dr. Smith a few times to make sure she stays healthy and has an active, long life. She has converted Jodi into being a "dog AND cat person!"
