Ramses, the Cat of the Day
Name: Ramses
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Tabby
Home: Kent, England
 
   Ramses is a longhaired brown tabby moggy. He is male and aged about five. He lives with me, Robert, in Kent, England. He is a very special cat because he chose me! He used to live about 500 metres away from my house, and his owners called him "Fatso." He obviously found this very insulting, because he isn't fat, just fluffy. He made his way to my house and started coming in through the cat flap in November 1995 (I had two other cats then). At first I tried to shoo him away, saying "You're beautiful, but you're not my pussy," but I eventually had to give in! I decided he needed a dignified name, so called him "Ramses" after the great Egyptian pharoahs, who, of course, were cat-worshippers.

    Ramses loves playing with a green fluffy bird on a bit of string, and he likes to follow guests into the bathroom and sit on their laps while they're on the wc! His favourite food is pork pie! He is now my only cat, as sadly Zante (my oldest cat) died in March 1999, and Caesar, my other cat, did a Ramses in reverse - after five years living with me, he has taken up residence with a lady who works in the local pork butcher's! I wonder why?
