About Us
Proey, the Cat of the Day
Name: Proey
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male
Breed: American Short Hair
Home: Tel Aviv, Israel
 
   This is Proey. He was named after the greek mythology hero, Prometheus, who created the humans and also gave them fire. Proey was given to me three years ago for six months when the guy who had him since he was a kitten couldn't take care of him. After only two days, I started plotting how to keep him with me for good. Luckily, the original owner agreed to let me keep him. In the course of the last three years, we've moved from Cincinnati, OH, to New York, NY, and later to Israel. He had to get shots before we left New York and I had his health certificate (saying that he was in good health.) He's lived in more places than most people have.

    Proey is a talking cat; we have long conversations and he has a special answer or comment to everything we say. He's a very relaxed and friendly cat. He loves to be petted. My boyfriend, Tush, loves combing Proey's long grey and white hair (but hates the hair that "decorates" our apartment.) I love feeding Proey in the morning, when he can barely wait to eat and steps on my feet on the way to the food bowl. Later he sits next to me when I have my breakfast and just watches me. He spends his days watching the birds that come to the balcony and the evenings sleeping in his chair (that you can see in this picture.)

    When he wants to be alone (or when he gets upset with us) he jumps from our third floor balcony to the top of the air conditioner of our second floor neighbors. Proey is a blessing and both Tush and I love him very much.
