Henry, the Cat of the Day
Name: Henry
Age: Ten months old
Gender: Male
Kind: Cat
Home: Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA
 
   Henry was rescued from the local humane society. I went in with the intentions of getting a small kitten hoping that my other cat, Founder, would not feel too intimidated. I was staring at a basketful of babies, trying to decide which one I liked when I felt something slap my arm. I looked over to see this gangly half grown kitty, cocking his cute little head at me, his paw still hanging out the bar of his cage. I popped the lock, he jumped into my arms and we made a jail break (after paying his bail, of course.) He is a fearless child and perhaps a little too trusting. The older cat had no choice but to accept him because Henry kept coming back for more every time she beat him down. They are now the best of friends (except at the food bowl.) His hobbies are: pouting to get his way, sharpening his claws on the dictionary, being cradled like a baby, racing through the house at Mach 10, chirping at the neighborhood strays through the window, getting baths from his older feline sister and waking me in the middle of the night to cuddle. No rug is safe with Henry--he will stop at nothing to crumple it into a defeated pile and then hide his toys somewhere in the folds. He brought my older cat back to life and put a smile in my heart. Life just wouldn't be the same without him.
