Alex, the Cat of the Day
Name: Alex
Age: Seven years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Maine Coon
Home: Guelph, Ontario, Canada
 
   This is my little furry companion who just happens to be a cat. His name is Alexander Graham Pusswinkle (but he is known as Alex). Alex is special because he chose me! I was looking to adopt another kitten from the Toronto Humane Society, and I had determined that I would look at every single kitten/cat they had before making my choice. Imagine my surprise when this little kitten saw me coming and ran towards the front of the cage! He stuck his little paw out of the cage as if to beckon me to him! He even purred at me! Well - I wasn't about to be swayed by the first cute kitten I saw, so I managed to pull myself away from him and go look at the rest of the kittens. Imagine my surprise when this same little kitten came running to the front of the cage again when I came around for a second look! That little paw beckoning me to him was the sign I needed, and Alex came home with me that very day. In the seven years he's been my companion, he's never once made me angry, and he's been the absolute perfect kitty.
