Pushpush, the Cat of the Day
Name: Pushpush
Age: Ten months old
Gender: Female
Kind: Tabby
Home: Wicklow, Ireland
 
   Pushpush is our first cat and we have her since she was eight weeks old. We also have two dogs, but Push is the one that stole our hearts and the bottom of our bed - which is her favorite resting place. What makes her even more special now, is the fact that she recently had a very bad accident. She was hit by a car one night and one of her back legs was severed in the accident. She managed to make it home to us by jumping over a fence at the bottom of our garden. She was quite depressed when we brought her back from the vets, but only within a matter of days, she was back to her old self - although now with only three legs and not four. Her favorite thing to do is tease the dogs. She does this by chasing them around the house and then letting them chase her. She can still run faster than they can. She also loves to sit in the back garden and stare at the birds. However, her favorite sleeping place is still at the bottom of our bed. We have bought her lots of toys over the last few months, but there are only two that she will play with constantly. Her first toy is a little pink ball with a bell inside it and her absolute favorite is a fish hanging on a string that is attached to a stick. She just adores it. When she first had her accident, it took her a while to learn how to grab for the fish without falling over. But now she has that problem solved, there's no stopping her.
