Luke, the Cat of the Day
Name: Luke
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male
Kind: American shorthair
Home: San Diego, California, USA
 
   In 1997 my family adopted two male kittens. They were both black except one had a white spot under its chin. I named this one Spice ( because he had a spicy personality) and we named the other one Luke. Spice was more of my cat while Luke was my brothers cat. Unfortunately in 2001 Spice went outside and disappeared never coming back. The other cat we had at the time named Lacey also disappeared. Now only sweet Luke was left. I now paid a lot of attention to Luke, most of the time I tend to spoil him. But his personality only gets sweeter. Even though he is not a kitten any more, he still acts like one. He is so playful, and he loves string and ribbon. (That's why Christmas is his favorite time of the year.) Whenever I walk near him he plops down on the ground and rolls looking at you with innocent eyes. But just because he acts like a kitten, doesn't mean he eats like one. Luke is one big boy. It would be a tragedy if his food bowl wasn't there for him to get a snack from every 15 minutes! Sleep is also a very important thing to Luke. Every night he plops down on top of my head purring into my ear (and sometimes snoring) until both of us fall asleep. Sometimes he will even sprawl out over my whole pillow leaving no room for my head, but that's fine with me. Luke is the only one remaining out of the trio we originally had. But he constantly reminds me of both Spice and Lacey. These are just a few of the reasons Luke is so special to me and my family.
