Butter, the Cat of the Day
Name: Butter
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Tuxedo cat
Home: Prince Edward Island, Canada
 
   I was volunteering at the animal shelter when I first saw Butter. I had to take him out of his cage for the photographer to take his picture, and the minute I had him in my arms he was purring loudly. I fell in love with him. Even though I wasn't looking to adopt another kitty, I just had to have him. The next day I filled out the papers and he came home with me.

    I had the hardest time with naming him. I had all these "tough" names picked out such a Shadow, Nazo, Tango, etc. They never stuck. I had been calling him Butter until I thought of something, which I never did. So, Butter it is!

    He has such a wonderful personality. He loves affection, and almost always purrs loudly whenever you're around him. He will meow until he gets affection if you're not giving him enough! Nothing seems to bother him either. When I took him home for the first time he wasn't at all concerned with my dogs and cat. He just fit right in.

    About a year after adopting him he got a urinary track blockage. He had to spend a day or two at the vets to be sure he was ok. The vets also discovered he has a heart problem which he will likely need medication someday for. Everyone was telling me what a joy he was. Even under those conditions he was still his happy, affectionate/purring self.

    Butter is such a wonderful cat. I brings so much happiness to my life, and I have no idea what I'd do without him!
