Dinky, the Cat of the Day
Name: Dinky
Age: Four months old
Gender: Male
Kind: American Short Hair
Home: Oregon, USA
 
   Dinky was born an only child during his humans' absence at a family reunion in July of last year. Upon their return home, he was found squirming on the bare floor in the bedroom when his human father went looking for a pair of suspenders that had fallen behind the old cedar chest in the bedroom. The nursery box was brought out but his mother, a small tuxedo of ten years, refused to keep him there: Mama Mitzi raised Dinky behind the big sofa in the living room. He came out on his own at age four weeks, unsteady on his legs but determined to explore every nook and cranny in the house. The other kits quickly accepted him and helped his mother train him to be just another darling. His human mother took to calling him Dinky Duck because of his small size. He is destined to be very small when full grown, so the name stuck. Dinky is obviously a ham: he insisted on having his picture taken during a shooting session of items for e-bay.
