Mikey, the Cat of the Day
Name: Mikey
Age: Eight months old
Gender: Male
Kind: Colorpoint Shorthair
Home: Jessup, Maryland, USA
 
   Mikey is named after the Orioles All-Star Ace pitcher Mike Mussina! He's very jealous of my computer and insists on sitting where I can see him whenever I'm working. Sometimes he insists on sitting on the keyboard! Mikey is a blue lynx point Colorpoint Shorthair, which is a breed in CFA that is closely related to the Siamese. In CFA, the Siamese come in only four colors - seal, blue, chocolate, and lilac. Other colors - like red, cream, tortie, and the lynx points - are shown in the Colorpoint Shorthair breed. Mikey's piercing blue eyes are a trait common to all pointed cats. He has stripes on his tail and legs, and thumbprints on his ear. He also has some pink on his nose leather! He has white lines all around his eyes, a white chin and cheeks, and two little brown freckles on each side of his nose. The lynx points are very special, and they know it. They're sweet, active, intelligent cats, who demand attention and show much affection. Some will even play fetch, including Mikey! But Mikey's favorite game is "Bowling for Kittens". He likes to run and pounce on unsuspecting young kittens as though they are his personal toys.
