About Us
Nike, the Cat of the Day
Name: Nike
Age: Deceased, Eight years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Domestic Shorthair
Home: Portland, Oregon, USA
 
   This is my cat Nike. He was originally adopted as a stray by our neighbor, but quickly decided he would rather live with us. When our neighbor moved we adopted him. My husband and I start every morning with a latte and the morning news, Nike started coming in and begging for the foam off of my husband's latte. I tried giving Nike his own little dish of milk foam but he would only lick the foam if it was delivered on a human finger... Picky, picky (or should I say spoiled rotten!). Tragically, our dear Nike was attacked and killed by a dog on December 4, 1999. Our morning routine will never be the same. We have recently started trying to train another of our cats, Gilda, to join us for foam but so far she has been very uncooperative. Nike provided us so much joy and entertainment we truly miss him, luckily we have three other fur children that need our love and attention.
