Oliver, the Cat of the Day
Name: Oliver
Age: Nineteen months old
Gender: Male
Breed: Maine Coon Mix
Home: Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA
 
   Oliver lives up the name "gentle giant" that is given to Maine Coon Cats. He is very laid back and loves our dog, Charlie. Oliver weighs nearly twenty pounds and still has a lot of growing to do. Maine Coon Cats grow until approximately three years old. By the way, he is already taller than Charlie, who is a schnauzer/scotty mix. He also loves to play "fetch the ball" with my husband.

    Hi, my name is Oliver and I live in a house with a brother Charlie who is a dog and a sister Tootsie, a kitten. We all get along so good. My Mom says it's because I am such a big cuddly kitty and that I'm just like a big floppy stuffed toy. Sometimes I play with a laser light just to amuse my mom and dad. I used to play fetch too, but now my little sister Tootsie chases the ball and gets in my way, so I just lay down and watch her do all the running. Maybe some day I'll start playing again when Tootsie gets older. My parents didn't know anything about Maine Coon Cats when they got me, but now they think I am the most beautiful cat in the world and, of course, they're right. They like to brag about my size. I weigh almost twenty pounds. My grandma says living with me is like living with a panther! I'm really content and gentle though. As long as my Mom gives me my tuna treat in the morning, I am happy. If she forgets, I jump up on the refrigerator door and pester her until she remembers.
