Gumbo, the Cat of the Day
Name: Gumbo
Age: Six months old
Gender: Male
Kind: Cat
Home: Lexington, Kentucky, USA
 
   Gumbo was a kitten that was born in my bedroom in my sorority house when I took his mother in as a stray. He was born the night before I was going to bring his mother to the humane society. I was unable to have pets where I lived, and was only planning on keeping his mother "temporarily." I figured the humane society would be able to take better care of them, and find them a good home. Well, I believe it was a sign, that he was born that very night. I took care of Gumbo from his very first hours and I must have messed up because Gumbo now thinks he is a dog. He acts like a dog by doing silly tricks and always getting into trouble. If he is not in your sight, then he is probably getting into something he shouldn't be. Gumbo is by far the fastest cat I have ever seen, he will tantalize his mother by running up and hitting her and taking off before she even realizes what happened. His comical actions make him the special kitty that he is. Although he's a little troublemaker, I wouldn't want him any other way. He was six weeks old in that picture, though he's six months old now.
