Dennis Bubba Hyphen Potter, the Cat of the Day
Name: Dennis Bubba Hyphen Potter
Age: Eleven years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Himalayan
Home: North Carolina, USA
 
   Dennis Bubba Hyphen Potter is an extraordinary cat by anyone's point of view... even people who don't like cats are crazy about him! He use to be Dennis the Menace, until we moved here and he started meowing with a "twang". Aside from his incredibly laid-back, loving and friendly disposition, Dennis Bubba saved my life!

    When I first got seriously ill on top of MS, I insisted on being home with Dennis Bubba under "home-health-care". I could barely walk, had IV's running in my veins and was also hooked up to a feeding tube. I finally yielded to deep despair and decided to terminate my life. I filled a syringe with toxic stuff, got comfortable in my recliner and placed the loaded syringe into the IV Tubing. Ol' Dennis Bubba, was on the rocking chair across the room, meditating as he spends most of his life doing. Just as I was ready to push the plunger with the deadly contents in the syringe into my IV... Dennis Bubba suddenly jumped off the rocker, jumped up into my lap...looked at me with those beautiful big blue eyes, as if to say; "please don't do this thing"... I immediately pulled the syringe out of the tubing, begin to cry and knew that God had sent me a guardian angel wrapped in fur! I have been fine emotionally ever since and have rebounded time and time again from the physical challenges I am faced with.

    I don't know what I'd do with out my faithful beloved cat, Dennis Bubba... he has even virtually licked tears streaming down my face when I've been in pain. He's a remarkable ol' fellow. Needless to say, I sure love him! He's almost eleven years old now, Himalayan chocolate-point bundle of love wrapped in a whole lotta fur. He was a gift from my friend in San Diego who bred the breed and she claimed she couldn't keep two males in her house... so DB kinda snookered up to me and I was hooked. He is a more-than-neutered male, he lost his penis to a serious urinary tract infection. He took that surgery pretty well, considering he didn't know if he was a boy, a girl or a what... so he pees like a girl cat. And of course, he's an indoor boy and will walk like a dog outside on a harness and leash. (He does try to convince everyone else that he's an outdoor guy, but he's not.) He's truly a joy!
