About Us
Radar, the Cat of the Day
Name: Radar
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Persian
Home: Forest City, North Carolina, USA
 
   Radar is a very mild and meek little fellow. He joined our home in the Spring of 2000. Radar's first home was a little over-populated with other animals for his timid personality. With us he has a very quiet and less intrusive atmosphere. It has been like watching a kitten grow-up, even though he was already full-grown. After spending the first two weeks under the bed, we watched him finally discover the rest of the house. Then he began to experience his first expeditions to the outdoors, learning to use a pet door in the process. At first, he did not grasp that all he had to do was basically "walk" through the pet door. He'd step through with his front paws, but then he would just drag his back paws and his tail behind him, performing several "belly busters" before he realized that gravity was involved in this process. If we only had it on film! With his newly found freedom: he enjoys the warm and hot days of summer in the shade of the azaleas while watching the other neighborhood critters, surveying the cow pasture, and saying hello to our neighbors while on their evening walks. As you can see, he is absolutely beautiful and his personality is the same. He continually grows in trusting us. We have two other cats; see Tanner and Chelsey. Tanner is tolerating his new baby brother quite well. Chelsey, our eight-year old calico, has been cast out of her "baby" status, and still likes to remind Radar of that with an occasional swat as he walks by. All in all, we are one big happy family, and we hope to have our new little boy with us for a long time.
