Dusty, the Cat of the Day
Name: Dusty
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Silver Tabby Persian
Home: Toledo, Ohio, USA
 
   This is Dusty, a very special kitty, because he is a thief. He steals the hearts of even the most non-cat lovers. One look into those big eyes, and he is irresistible. My then-fiance drove to Indiana to meet the breeder to get him. He was a replacement for my beloved calico kitty, Calley, that died of diabetes. He was seven weeks old when he gave him to me for a birthday present. Two years later we were to get married, and were building a new house and I had to give him up. My sister took him without hesitation. Her husband was not a cat lover at all, and said he would only keep him until we settled in our new house. Now, he would not give him up for anything. They are best buddies.

    Dusty is very spoiled. He will only drink out of his drinking fountain, waiting for someone to turn it on for him. He has his own pillow that is between them in bed. He is quite demanding, and definitely rules the roost. His favorite pastimes are watching the ducks in the pond, eating treats, and lying in the sun. He also loves to go outside, only in fair weather, of course, and only if he is supervised. He can make the worst bad day end with a smile! I get to see him every day. He now has all the more humans that love him, and is quite a lucky kitty, and he knows it!
