Huffy, the Cat of the Day
Name: Huffy
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Tuxedo
Home: Evansville, Indiana, USA
 
   This beautiful, precious boy began appearing on my front porch - snatching mouthfuls of cat food and running away when I would feed my four other cats. He wouldn't let me touch him for months!! When I tried to pick him up or pet him he would "huff" at me - hence his name. He was very apprehensive. Turns out he lived nearby, but was looking for a new home. His owner had a young son who was allergic to cats & Huff had to stay alone in a small building behind her house. He was lonely and wanted to be a house/garden cat again. He slept under the flowers out back before he figured out my cat door. She and I agreed to my adoption of her beloved kitty and she comes to visit us. I credit her with his wonderful disposition and love for people. Huffy is the absolute sweetest! He knows when I am sad or upset and climbs on my lap to comfort me. He also loves to be on my lap when I'm at the computer - he taps the keyboard. He is so docile and the rest of my cats absolutely love him. What a joy to be selected by him as his adoptive mother.
