Emperor, the Cat of the Day
Name: Emperor
Age: One year old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic Shorthair
Home: Florida, USA
 
   Emperor is a year old. He must be a shorthair as that describes him. He came from the pound. We live in Florida. When my son was almost eleven, we moved to a house and for the first time, he was allowed a pet. I went to the pound and found this kitten purring and happy to see me. He wasn't the prettiest kitten there but he was the one who stayed by the front of the cage and wanted to go home with someone. He's affectionate, brave and a good companion.

    Emperor stays outside during the day and greets us by rolling in the dirt when we come home. The happier he is to see us, the dirtier he gets. When we hold him and he wants to get away, he purrs insincerely to put us off guard then he jumps and goes... maybe eight inches away... stops and grooms himself.

    Emperor fetches (he has one cloth ball that he fetches and no other will do even if it looks identical), sits, shakes and stands when there is a treat involved. He also likes to play chess. With just one swat, he can put a bishop under a chair.
