Koko, the Cat of the Day
Name: Koko
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Kind: American Shorthair
Home: Seoul, South Korea
 
   Koko, our third cat, makes our family whole with her playfulness... she also makes a good insect catcher!! Some nights, Koko is sleeping away on one of our beds, but most of the time, she's off in our bathroom, or anywhere else in the house, hunting for mosquitos and moths. After she catches her "prey" in her paws, there is no other way to get the squished things off, except by licking them. So, she ends up eating all the bugs in our house, or they all get squished up on our bathroom floor.

    Another cute thing Koko enjoys doing is kissing up to us just to get more food. If we don't give her her food on the right time, she squirms all over us as we near the cat food. She purrs, and winds through our legs just to get the attention of getting what she wants: food. But in the end, we give in. To thank us for feeding her hungry stomach, she occasionally comes to us as she eats, purring while swirling around our legs... and then goes back to her food, doing this after about every five seconds of eating her food.

    One more amazing thing: One day, one of our dogs chased Koko around our yard, and she managed to escape by jumping over our wall leading down to a Buddhist temple ten minutes away. She managed to escape by taking the shortcut there. Amazingly she survived the long drop, and we rescued her, driving to location, as she was caught in a bush full of tiny thorns, poor Koko! But she is fine now!
