Pilot, the Cat of the Day
Name: Pilot
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Russian Blue
Home: New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Canada
 
   This is Pilot Sabean Preacher MacLeod. He is a Russian Blue shorthair from New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Canada. His zany zest for life is what makes him special.

    I have to be honest, Pilot is a pain in the neck sometimes, who really enjoys harassing his older, smaller brother (our other cat). He also likes sniping at our ankles with his razor sharp claws and tripping people on the stairs. But he's so cute we can't stay mad at him for long. He's a bit neurotic, and does love to chase his own tail, which is hilarious, because he is the clumsiest cat I've ever seen, and certainly doesn't land on his feet. You haven't really laughed until you've seen a sixteen-pound cat knock himself down while chasing his own tail, and then continue to chase it, swishing himself around in circles on the floor.

    He's independent, but likes to run to the door to greet people so he can show them how unimportant they are by walking away as soon as they walk in, lol. About his names, his last name is our last name, and we chose his first and third names based on two characters from Sci-Fi shows we watch (Pilot from Farscape (he has the same eyes!) and Preacher from Firefly). His middle name is actually chosen from my husband and I's list of baby names in case we ever have kids, lol.

    He doesn't do sailing, but I think he's into boxing, at least with dogs - we had a nice German Shepherd visit here one day, and I had to throw myself between them because Pilot was going to take her out - he hit me hard enough to leave a bruise for two weeks, the little devil!

    Pilot is a pretty good boy - we have a new kitten, and as he is the spitting image of Pilot, he has decided to take the little guy Thegn, (pronounced Thane) under his wing and show him the ropes around here. So far he's played and wrested with Thegn, shown him how to chase the door-mounted mouse toy, and let him crawl all over Pilot's considerable bulk.

    When he's loving, he's very loving, and will follow you around like a dog looking for attention. He never steals people food, which makes it nice that he has a habit of sitting on the counter and looking out the kitchen window while I clean or do dishes. He doesn't usually meow, just makes adorable "merp" and burbling sounds. He is very confident, and doesn't know any strangers, lol. He also has a really charming habit of knowing when you're upset and coming over to purr and headbutt or rub against you when you come into the room. It's the only time he wants to be in your lap voluntarily!

    He really is a nice cat, he's just so mischievous that sometimes that's all I remember!
