Morgan, the Cat of the Day
Name: Morgan
Age: Eleven years old
Gender: Male
Kind: American Short hair
Home: Burlington, Vermont, USA
 
   Morgan came to live with us when he was about nine months old - his third home. At his first home, the dad was allergic. He was taken in by a couple who had an old cat and he and Morgan were not compatible. So, Morgan came to live with us. He was very feisty and didn't like our dog, Buddy, a black lab, who loved everybody, and I don't think Morgan was very fond of the humans in the house either! But I loved him, maybe because of his strong personality. And, I think he is a beautiful cat!

    Over the years, Morgan has calmed down and runs to greet me when I return to the house. He purrs and rubs against my legs and just makes me feel very welcomed. He can make me smile even on my worst of days. Even though he has become more accepting of us, he still lets us know when he has had enough of being close contact and will just march out of the room. One of his rather odd habits is to lie on the floor and put the bridge of his nose flat on the floor - as if his nose is cold! And, when he gets bored or just wants attention, he chews on the nearest cardboard box. When people wander into our yard, he runs right out to greet them and check up on what they are doing. He wants to be where the action is!
