Stormy, the Cat of the Day
Name: Stormy
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Burmese
Home: Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada
 
   This is a picture of "Red Storm Rising" a red Burmese, who at the time of this picture was six years old. He is now ten years old and enjoying life to the fullest. Stormy is his nickname, and he knows it well. Stormy was born in Saskatchewan, Canada during the Gulf War and he was named for that, and also the book of the same name. At the time red Burmese were not an accepted color in the breed shows of Canada, so there were only six known red Burmese in the country then. Since then red has become an accepted color and people now breed for this specific color.

    Burmese cats are very active and always want to be with their humans. No matter what I'm doing, Stormy is trying to make a game of it. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. When closing doors on closets or cupboards, I have become accustomed to checking to see if there is a cat that has squeezed into an empty space, as this happens often. Always ready for action, play or just a cuddle or two, these are very affectionate little animals.
