Every day is cat day for best friends, Bella (brown tabby) and Beau (marmalade). These adventure-kitties have a passion for RV travel. (Larissa Branin, Multimedia Director)

Grace loves food a bit too much so we have to portion out her daily meals. She’s so food-motivated that we even trained her to ring a bell! (Sarah Oldenburg, Senior Digital Designer)

Tabitha is my grey tabby kitty (Ginny Delaney, Biomedical Program Officer)

Persimmon managed to slowly but surely charm her way from a life prowling my daughter’s apartment complex to permanent bed and couch status. She looks appropriately victorious in this photo. (Wendy Welsh, Employee Communications Strategist)

Mama Goldie (white/tabby) and Baby Bear (all tabby) were rescued at UC Berkeley in 2017. Mama is still semi-feral and Bear is a wild, playful boy. Follow them @mamagoldie_babybear (Jill Erbland, Sr. Executive Assistant and Office Manager, UC National Labs)

Felicity is a Maine Coon. She’s very gentle and affectionate, and she loves to play goalie, swatting balls made from crumpled paper. It’s hard to get one past her, she’ll even jump high to get one! (Carrie Frandsen, Systemwide Enterprise Risk Management Director)

Doyle (Orange) and Oliver (Tuxedo) were adopted from the Orphan Kitten Project, a student-run organization through the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. (Molly M. Theodossy, Principal Investigator, Ethics, Compliance, and Audit Services)

Ulysses has been unofficially adopted by our family since he likes to preside on our front porch and comes into the house through our open windows. His name aptly reflects his epic hair and kingly nature. (Angela Hom, Records Analyst, OGC)

Crispen was adopted during baseball season at 6 months old. He would jump around to chase the players and ball around the TV screen. He’s named after one of my favorite A’s: Coco Crisp. (Blaze A. Farrar, Analyst, BRC CAAP Team)

Zazzie is a very playful cat with a ton of personality! She lets you know when she wants to play by dragging her favorite toy right to you. (Dylan Smith, Senior Staff Accountant, UCPath Center)

Cheetah (at two days old and today) was found alone in a parking lot and had to be bottle fed. Today she loves to talk about how she loves me, or that her food bowl is empty. (Arica Hall, Performance Metrics and Quality Analyst)

Katy Purry was named by my husband. He didn't want a cat but has grown to love her as much as I do! (Gina Cauthen, Assistant to Molly Greek, UCOP CIO)

Mason can adjust his meal times automatically for daylight savings time. (Melanie Carr, HR Policy Manager)

Valentina (left) and Coco are 6-month-old rescue kitties who like spending their time looking out the window for birds. (Michelle Simone, Communications Strategist).

Aspen AKA “TT” was separated from her mother at 1 week old. Almost 10 years later, she still climbs into my arms and sucks her tail to fall asleep. (Seana Summers, Legal Operations Coordinator)

Just like his humble human servant, Tully loves to lounge on the couch, eat some treats and watch anime all night. (Matthew Milne, Accountant)

Wednsleydale and Arlis are my ginger kitties (Ginny Delaney, Biomedical Program Officer)
