Howdi - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Yes that's right, it's Howdi with an "I". And she would love to let you know that it's pronounced exactly like Howdy with a "Y", except cuter.
And yes, that tail is real.

Howdi is in foster care with her two sisters, Guppy and Iggy.
She started as the shyest of the group, letting her sisters lead the way into the world of interacting with people and all of their foods (mostly good), baths (pretty un-fun), and, Howdi's eventual favorite: toys.

But as she grew she started to come into her own and realized she could have more fun in the middle of the kitten chaos that on the sidelines. At first it was all about the toy mice that humans weren't paying attention to. She would bat at them and pounce on them but still wasn't sure about the lumbering humans in the room. But over the weeks she cames to realize that toys were even better when they moved, and boy did the humans love to move them for her. Tossing a mouse across the room lead to a diving catch, sliding one under the dresser led to a slithering retrieval, and giving a stuffed frog a crinkle before setting him conspicuously on the edge of a table would surely get her attention.

Now that she's grown up a little and spent more time with people she's learned that they're actually pretty great. Just like her sisters she loves pets and attention, purring and stomping around to her heart's content. Sit still for a bit and she'll climb onto you to figure out just exactly why you're not paying attention to her right this instant.

Skills include:
- First to climb to the top of the cat tree
- Most victories over Guppy in kitten battles instigated by Howdi
- Most unbelievable tail ever

Since Howdi is so used to people we think she could do well in a home with polite young children. She's never met a dog so we're not sure there.
As with all young cats she absolutely has to go to a home with another cat. She needs to share her energy and love with everyone that she can. She'd love to go with her sisters but the most important part is that she has a buddy in her new home.
