William, the Cat of the Day
Name: William
Age: Seven and a half years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Maine Coon cat
Home: Southaven, Mississippi, USA
 
   This gorgeous boy is William. We originally adopted him from a local shelter. He was so scared but we were able to talk him out of the cage they had him in. He came home with us and hid under the couch for two hours. After he came out he was in charge of things and has been ever since then and that was seven years ago!

    He is the neatest cat you could ever want to meet. He is not aloof or anything like the stereotype you hear about most cats. He doesn't hide when strangers come into the house. He is alpha over our two Shelties, Mali and Cooper, and they know it..but then he is alpha over my husband and I and we know (and don't mind it).

    William loves to explore in our backyard looking for birds or other creatures of interest. He never gets to go out except in the backyard when we are out there with him. He most definitely does not get to go out in the front and explore. We want to make sure we keep our baby safe. (Shhh...don't anyone tell him we called him our baby...lol)

    William loves all things that start with a "b" - such as boxes, bugs, blankets, baconfish (treats - it's a long story), and birds. His favorite would have to be boxes. You cannot bring a box around this boy without him not getting into it. We recently bought a laptop computer and he has claimed the box as his own! He also loves to sleep in a boot box that my husband gave him. Never mind the bed that we bought for him...oh, no...it's the boot box for sure.

    As you can see, we love our William very much. He has added so much joy and love to our lives and we hope we give it right back to him. We hope that all of you enjoy seeing our gorgeous boy and that seeing him will brighten your day as he brightens each day of our lives!
