Leto, the Cat of the Day
Name: Leto
Age: One year old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic Short-Hair
Home: Madison, Wisconsin, USA
 
   Because of his beautiful, shiny black coat, Leto is named after the Greek goddess of the night, the mother of Apollo. Leto is about as close to a dog as cats come. He doesn't like to be held, but likes to lay next you while you pet him. If you rub his stomach, he'll roll over. He's very vocal and has a large vocabulary of meows. Every morning he jumps up on my bed and meows (about a half hour before I really need to get up) Who needs an alarm clock?! When I come home in the evening he meows almost continuous to greet me.

    Leto is very frisky and playful. His favorite toy is a plain piece of string. His favorite game is tag. To get you to play, he'll come up behind you and tag the bag of your legs and then run away expecting you to chase him. Most cats are pretty independent and don't mind being alone, but Leto seems to need companionship. Even when he's taking a nap he likes to be near someone. When I have company, he doesn't run away and hide, but instead sits in the living room on the hearth of the fireplace and politely takes in the conversation.

    Leto isn't the only one who enjoys our companionship. Life sure would be different without him. Checkout Leto's webpage.
