About Us
Simon, the Cat of the Day
Name: Simon
Age: One year old
Gender: Male
Breed: Siamese mix
Home: Oklahoma, USA
 
   This is Simon, my daughter's cat. Simon is part Siamese, so the people we got him from told us. I'm not sure. He was a year old Memorial Day weekend. He has been such a delight to our family. My daughter lost her two favorite cats within two weeks of each other. The minute we come home each day Simon is waiting at the kitchen door. He always has to meow at us when we say his name. He eats Cheerios with me every morning for breakfast, he gets on the stool next to me and hits my arm when he is ready for another bite. He is also mine and my daughter's alarm clock: every morning he runs across our chests until we get up. He wakes me up every morning for his special kitty treat at 6 am.

    He is a very special cat to our family. We have never had a cat that was so family-oriented. He loves to be where we are at all times. He plays hide in seek with my daughter. As you can see, he was not particularly happy to pose for this picture. It was for a special cat calendar I made for my friend for Christmas.
