Mulligan, the Cat of the Day
Name: Mulligan
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male
Kind: American Shorthair
Home: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   Mully is a miracle kitty. He joined my family two years ago when I found him and two other of his siblings when they were one week old and were abandoned by their mother in the apartment complex where I lived. They were totally dependent upon me for everything and Mulligan, his brother Bogey and his sister Birdie all found comfort with my yellow lab Harley and were 24 hour work. Mulligan developed a unique attachment to Harley and as he grew his meows sounded more like a dog crying and his mannerisms were that of a dog rather than a cat. His brother Bogey was eventually was adopted by another family, however Birdie still remains and keep Mulligan in line when his curiosity gets the best of him.

    As Mulligan grew his personality became more quirky. Mully favorite pastime is perching himself on the tops of doors (we think he must have springs in his toes), stealing fresh flowers for toys and making sure to decorate the house with silver tinsel from those little cat toy balls even if it is not Christmas. He also acts as an alarm clock and is quite adept at opening the blinds with his nose. He has a unique love of plants and frequently prunes them by using his paw or teeth:) He also loves to talk and follow you wherever you go and will enjoy sharing a good bowl of cereal with you if you let him. He is truly a treat!
