Michael, the Cat of the Day
Name: Michael
Age: Eighteen months old
Gender: Male
Kind: Cat
Home: West Fenwick Island, Delaware, USA
 
   While I was in England on vacation, my favorite cat, Shadow, disappeared while being taken care of by my husband. He searched high and low but, living in a beach town with so many visitors and such Shadow being such a friendly, loving cat, we are hoping he has a good home.

    After a short time I went back to the SPCA and found, or he found me by yelling the loudest, Michael, so named since he could do a 360 in the air like Michael Jordan. It has taken me quite a while to get used to him but I am warming up to him. My husband thinks that he and his brother, Reds, are the most special cats in the world.

    Michael doesn't mind if I pick him up or stroke him when he is on my lap, but he also doesn't mind hiding behind a door and doing a 360 down my leg. You would think that, after being rescued, Michael would feel grateful for the nice things in life such as poached flounder or haddock. We live out on the bay and fish abound, but Michael only likes dry food, bullets, or my solid white albacore $2.00 tuna, which I tell my husband is not good for him. Reds will eat most things, his favorite being roast chicken or the juice from a can of cat food. All things considered though, I do love them so, and am thankful for in this season for Michael helping fill the empty spot in our home. Even if it is in the centerpiece!
