Skinny, the Cat of the Day
Name: Skinny
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Moggy
Home: Wood Green, London, UK
 
   Skinny turned up in our garden when we lived in Leicester, and was painfully thin (hence the name) and had very bad skin because of a bad attack of the fleas. We adopted her along with her mouthy sister Pam, and had her fleas treated and now Skinny looks like she has just stepped out of a salon. She has also gone completely the other way with her weight and is quite fat (as you can see from the picture taken of her on the fence - she has real girth). I think it's because she had a traumatic childhood and their 'dad' says she eats to forget. Both Skinny and Pam get combed every day and are completely spoilt.

    Skinny is completely soft and is never nasty to anyone. She spends most of the day going from the window to the bed and it a bit scared of most of her toys. Her favorite toys are tiny furry mice, though she's too lazy to catch real ones. You can throw them at her and she bats them back with her paws, but only while lying down of course. Her dad is her favorite person and if he's out, she starts playing up and scratches the furniture and sometimes even rips up magazines in protest. She also has a big fat white furry belly that she likes to show off to you. Cats are the best.
