Peach, the Cat of the Day
Name: Peach
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic Short Hair
Home: Los Angeles, California, USA
 
   My beloved Peach (so named for his color, and Peachy personality!) came to me four years ago through a fostering program in which I was involved. I was supposed to get him ready for adoption, but fell in love with him and kept him for myself, and I adore this cat with all my heart. He is the most laid back cat I have ever met - he actually should be called Ferdinand the Bull, because all he wants to do all day is sit in the garden and smell the flowers! And he sometimes seems to be a female cat trapped in a male's body, because he is the most gentle and affectionate cat I have ever met, who loves nothing more than to lick and groom and cuddle my other cats before calling it a day and sleeping the hours away in the sun. He will lope over to you when you call him, and if you ask for a kiss he is right there with a lovely, scratchy one right on the cheek - even when he sleeps next to my head at night, rare is the occasion when he doesn't wake me up with a loud purring smooch in my right ear!

    Patience must be his middle name as he takes, with sweet-natured good humor, a lot of playful ribbing from the other members of the family - Betty Crocker thinks nothing of leaping on him at all hours for playtime, Lady Jane Grey always knows where to turn for her playful swipes, and Lulu - the matriarch of this group who really rules the roost - just loves to plop herself near him when she wants a good lick on the head or perhaps some advice on how to be a Zen Cat!

    Everyone in the neighborhood knows and loves Peach, and I feel blessed to have him in my life -- he is my Peachie Boy whom I adore.
