Ernie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Ernie
Age: Unknown
Gender: Female
Breed: Persian Mix
Home: Netherlands
 
   Here is my cat Ernie. She is 1/2 Persian. I met her at the shelter in March of this year and I fell in love straight away. Our other cat is a female two-year-old European shorthair named Bert. Bert was given her name by my nephew Thomas, who does not know the difference between a male and a female cat. He wanted to have this cat named Bert. Bert on Sesame Street has a friend named Ernie, so that is why my cat got this name. (The name she had in the shelter was Reza). She eats Iams and she has clay in her litterbox. We first had some kind of wood in it. Bert used it, but Ernie just sat next to it.

    To me Ernie is so special because she chose me as a person she likes. Whenever I come home, she is there on top of the stairs Miauwing and telling me all the thing she did when I was away. Then I walk towards my computer and when she feels she has not had enough attention, she just sits in front of it and won't move until I have combed her hair and told her that she is a pretty, pretty girl. When I have to go to the bathroom she comes along and waits for me just outside the door. This cat has principles. Her favorite sleeping place is a carton, as small as possible where she can still fit in.

    The food she just loves is Gourmet gold. Although she is a bit overweight, she eats only half of this small tin. The other half is for Bert, our other cat. As you can see, we love Sesame Street. Perhaps it is funny to some people, but we love Bert and Ernie.
