Poco, the Cat of the Day
Name: Poco
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Maine Coon
Home: Woodstock, Georgia, USA
 
   Poco was adopted from the Humane Society when he was four to five weeks of age. He is a Maine Coon Tabby. Now two years old, he is very large (about eighteen pounds) and as playful as ever. I got Poco for my tenth birthday. I named him Poco-Regis, which means Little-King. He was very small at the time and we all treated him like royalty. My father wanted a dog, my mom wanted a cat and I wanted one of each. We settled for a cat only, but what we got was a cat that thinks and acts like a dog. So everyone got what they wanted.

    We put my baby blankie in Poco's bed the day he came home and to this day he still uses it. He loves his treats and knows just how to get us to get them for him. He'll do little tricks or purr at our feet. If we say "Poco want a treat" he comes running. He plays bat the ball, mousie, hair-band etc. from the balcony above our kitchen whenever he wants our attention. He also loves to run after me, jumping at my legs and pulling me down like a lion takes down a gazelle. His white paws, wonderful stripes and markings make him a very beautiful cat. His coat is shiny and soft with a big fluffy tail. He was the best birthday gift I've ever received.
