Bailey, the Cat of the Day
Name: Bailey
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Cat
Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
 
   I adopted Bailey when he was about eight months old from a friend who got him at an animal shelter. As for specific breed, I suspect Bailey has some Himalayan Persian in him due to his lovable size (sixteen pounds and holding) and his extremely long and fuzzy hair. He was originally quite a timid little fellow, but with lots of love and affection he has become a very friendly and outgoing guy. He greets everyone at the door with a dramatic flop on the floor, hoping for a rub of his ample belly. His two favourite things in life are his carpeted pedestal in the front window where he sits, sleeps and scratches to his heart's content, and (you guessed it) his food. He will jump on the bed every morning and gently poke me in the eye with his paw until I feed him. Bailey is greatly loved by everyone who meets him; including those violently allergic to his fuzzy coat! My friend, who affectionately calls Bailey "a sneeze factory", is convinced that Bailey's hair has probably found a place in all four corners of the world. Once you come into contact with Bailey, his "love" for you is always closely enmeshed with your heart, and your clothes. There is always a little bit of Bailey somewhere on my person at anytime of the day, which either warms my heart or sends me into a panic looking for a lint brush! Despite his fuzzy ways, he is truly an adorable guy and the greatest companion.
