Sir Simba, the Cat of the Day
Name: Sir Simba
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Silver Chinchilla Persian
Home: Tallahassee, Florida, USA
 
   Sir Simba is quite an amazing and loving Persian. When I sent his papers in to have him registered, I only wanted his name to be Simba. Evidently, they had another white and grey Persian cat and he had the same name as Simba. His papers were returned to us and they named him "Sir Simba." Now his registered name is Sir Simba but to us we just call him plain Simba.

    Simba loves to wake us up every morning around 5:30 A.M. He jumps up on the bed and sits on my chest until I get up and feed him. After he is through eating, he jumps up on the bar in the kitchen and heads for the kitchen sink. he turns around and looks at me so I can turn on the water for him. He enjoys drinking his water from the faucet in the kitchen sink only. When my daughter gets up in the morning, he meows to go into the bathroom with her. He loves to sit on the toilet seat and watch her get ready for work. She throws him small cotton balls and he tries to catch them in mid air. Most of the time he succeeds. He keeps waiting around for cotton ball after cotton ball so he can catch them. He also enjoys playing with Q-tips and carries them around the house in his mouth.

    His personality is very sweet and he just loves for you to talk to him. There was an article in our local newspaper about two years ago and Simba had a sister named Pearl. She was stolen while being boarded at a local vet's office. She was never found. The owners were heart broken and were offering a $500.00 reward for the return of their cat. She looked exactly like Sir Simba. You could tell they came from the same liter. I thought how very sad it was to lose such a beautiful Persian. Simba is just a joy to have around our house. He is so smart and does not miss a trick. All cat lovers should have a cat like Simba. He brings so much joy to our lives. He is definitely the king of our house.
