About Us
Machu, the Cat of the Day
Name: Machu
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Longhair
Home: Brampton, Ontario, Canada
 
   Machu came to us as a stray kitten that was born in the park beside our workplace. She was captured along with her mother and two sisters (one of whom we also adopted) by a kind co-worker, who then gave them to us. Machu was named after the ancient Incan site of Machu Picchu in Peru. She is a very shy kitty, but she does like her owners! She is a very independent, active cat who frequently outsmarts her fatter, lazier sister (Pichu).

    Her favourite hobbies include watching birds through the window, running around the back yard in the summer, hunting insects, playing with her toys, and waiting to be fed every night! Machu can be seen in this picture napping on our bed (another one of her hobbies!). She took a while before she would let us pick her up and hold her for a little while, and she still doesn't like it too much. She has become much more trusting than she was when she first came to us. She is a very pretty kitty (in our opinion!) with incredibly soft fur. We love Machu very much and hope that she loves us just as much!
