"Spot lives and works at Pattie's Trophy Case in Seaside, Oregon. Pattie says Spot arrived at her shop when it was in Warrenton. Spot was just skin and bones and was probably abused. 'If you raised a hand [to pet her], she ducked.' Now she's very friendly and healthy. Pattie says, 'We had another cat before Spot, but Spot chased it away, and Spot adopted us.' Pattie also has a dog named Ziggy, but Spot is very jealous and territorial. Spot loves to play with rubber bands. She gets her name from the black spot on her nose. She was truly a nice kitty."
