Luther, the Cat of the Day
Name: Luther
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Norwegian Forest Cat
Home: Santa Rosa, California, USA
 
   This is Luther (aka Luthie, Dr. Vonthuler, Wu). We adopted him from a litter of fluffy kittens because he was the cutest...a white ruff and silky fur. He used to get beat up by our other kitten Cosmo, who had a few weeks on him and liked to play rough. Now, Luther outweighs Cosmo by more than a few pounds and usually wins the wrestling matches. As Luther got older, bigger, and more exotic looking, we knew he must be a special breed. When we came across a picture of a Norwegian Forest Cat, we knew that was it. Luther loves water and likes to be towel dried after a good rain. His coat is so thick we figure he doesn't really get wet anyway. His undercoat gets curly and he needs a darn good brushing everyday. He pretends not to like it but then he'll flop over and show you his big belly. He loves to play with his toy mouse and when he gets a new one, the tail is the first to go. He hates the neighbor cats and is sometimes known as Fierce Wu. But he's afraid of strangers! If the door bell rings, he's out the cat door in two seconds. Luther's best friend is his redhead brother Cosmo, but he thinks his newly adopted sister Bunny is way too bossy. You can see Luthie's own website. Luther is truly a unique cat and as we like to say, "there's just something about Luther."
