Puffy, the Cat of the Day
Name: Puffy
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Chinchilla Persian
Home: Hasuda, Saitama, Japan
 
   As with any other pet owner, we are pretty confident Puffy's the cutest animal around, or at least the cutest feline creature, or at the very least the cutest Chinchilla Persian. I mean, just look at her face for one thing. I've seen a number of Chinchillas and they all seem to have flattish, indented foreheads and noses, whereas the inimitable Puffy has a high-bridged, petite nose with a more rounded forehead. Well, the photo speaks for itself.

    But although Puffy is model material, she hates to be held or kissed, and doesn't even like being approached too closely by humans, although when she was younger she was a bit more amenable. But come hungry time or time to be let out into our small yard, she'll jump up dolphin-style trying to rub her head against the nearest human. Puffy's quite the jumper, too. We've gotten her to jump up quite high into the air (well over a meter) when playing keep away using her favorite furry mouse toy. Quite a humorous sight when such a gorgeous Chinchilla forgets all decency and decorum just to catch a little mouse.

    Favorite pastime: Chasing butterflies outside, or playing with furry mouse toy. Loves snow.

    Quirks: Very much prefers hand feeding. Tends to stand in front of the bowl until somebody will feed her directly by hand. Very sloppy drinker. Most tends to fly outward from the bowl.
