Lilla Pissen, the Cat of the Day
Name: Lilla Pissen
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Tabby
Home: Brooklyn, New York, USA
 
   My cat is a male orange tabby named Lilla Pissen, which means Little Kitty in Swedish. He is about two years old now. We found him on the streets of Brooklyn, NY last year on April 8th. Since he had been a stray tomcat all his life he had big cheeks and tons of ear mites though a cool street smart way about him. My husband and I were a little worried how he'd adapt to living in an apartment. Everything worked out great, thanks to Pissen's fabulous personality! He's a big sweetheart, weighing in at 16 pounds; he's all fur and muscles. When we first brought him home he was very mellow. Just wanted to snuggle and eat but within a couple of months he became a playful, outgoing and charming kitty. Pissen is really affectionate and everyone loves him. He spends his days in the open window watching pigeons, chasing [fake] mice and eating pieces of string. The last hobby mentioned almost turned fatal last September but luckily he had surgery before it was too late. You can see the scar on his tummy on the picture. Poor thing tried to eat a cassette tape. Since then music cassettes and rubber bands are banned in our house. My sweetie wakes me up every morning by gently putting his paws on my face, asking me to hold up the cover so that he can get in and under next to me. Pissen loves the occasional tuna fish, tofu or chicken satay. Whenever we order in, he's right there, waiting for his share. Lastly, when I get home after work, and he's not waiting in the window for me - I'll call his name before I put the key in the door. And he always replies. After feeding our fish, the kitty and I kiss and cuddle on the bed. I love my cat!
