corner-melissaMelissa doesn’t like to be disturbed when napping! This 14-year-old Cornish Rex cat says her human family treats her like she is a goddess. Melissa believes she is royalty. Born in Moscow, Russia, Melissa lived in Russia for two years. Then she flew to The Netherlands on an aircraft. Melissa says it was a grand ride. While living in The Netherlands for seven years her life was excellent and full of adventures. At her home, her balcony led to a bicycle storage area where other cats enjoyed dozing. Melissa claimed her territory and fought them for the space, winning every battle! Now Melissa lives here in Falls Church. Life isn’t as interesting in Virginia, but it is peaceful and cozy, especially when she is all bundled up and ready for an afternoon nap.
