Schatzi, the Cat of the Day
Name: Schatzi
Age: Nine years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Cat
Home: Kailua, Hawaii, USA
 
   Schatzi's a special kitty because he showed up on my doorstep when he was just a little kitten, looking thin and neglected, meowing and carrying-on as if he hadn't been fed in weeks. Of course, once I fed him the first time, it was all over! Little did I know then, that his constant meowing was just part of his personality! To this day, he still meows incessantly when it is feeding time -- and he thinks it is always time to eat!

    Schatzi is a very affectionate and vocal long-haired kitty. He lives to get into mischief! He follows me around like a puppy-dog and loves to watch me do laundry. He will sit on the side of the washer and watch it fill up with water as I put the clothes in. When it starts agitating, he is fascinated, and occasionally likes to try and touch the filter with his front paws! He often likes to bring me his "trophies" (much to my dismay) of birds and mice, mostly while they are still alive. ;-( He will sit outside the screen doors with the animal in his mouth. When I start hearing the repeated muffled meows, I know I'm not going to like what I see. He will not stop meowing until I come over and acknowledge his "gift."

    All in all, though, he is a wonderful cat. He is more like a dog than a cat at times because he always comes when I call him, he follows me around outside the house, and loves to be pet like a dog -- being thumped on his hindquarters! He is definitely one of a kind!
