My
cat is very special to me for many reasons, but he is also very
special for many of his physical features. To begin with, he is not
your average Tabby cat. He has seven toes on each foot instead of six. This
is incredibly rare, I guess you could say that Nermal is the
"Tabby" of Tabby cats. Aside from his extreme physical
features, Nermal has a very kind and loving personality. He will let
anyone hold him, and he can't stand it unless he is the center of
attention. He is obedient - when you clap your hands twice and say
"go to beddies" he will go immediately to his special bed
downstairs.
Nermal is very independent, but he can do one trick, and that is if
you dangle fresh (only fresh) turkey above him, he will climb up your
leg to get to it. Nermal loves jumping on all of our house guest laps
when they least expect it. He takes us for granted, and never seems
to think that we own him, rather that he owns us. Likewise, our
family seems to revolve around him. We are constantly buying him
little treats and other goodies to spoil him.
My main reason for nominating Nermal, is that, well, he is one of my
best friends. Yes, we give him a lot, but he gives back. He gives me
companionship that no human can offer, and puts up with more than
most cats would (ie: The antlers at Christmas Time.) He is the center
of attention at our house, but in return, he is very willing to let
us cuddle and hold him, even if he doesn't want to be held or
cuddled.
Recently I participated in a Creative Writing contest at Ashland
University, and the subject was to choose who we felt should be
president, and write about it. Naturally, I chose my cat. Nermal is
truly the best of all pets, and every day when I hold him, I feel
glad that we found him at our neighbor's house, as they were going to
probably put him in Animal Shelter if they couldn't find a home soon
for him. Little did they know, that someday that kitten they didn't
know what to do with, would become my best friend.
