Otto, the Cat of the Day
Name: Otto
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Seal Point Siamese, Tabby Mix
Home: Danbury, Connecticut, USA
 
   On a cold winter day in December of 2000, I decided to leave the wild life on the streets of Danbury and find a new home. Luck was with me that day as I found the most wonderful place. My new mama quickly made me feel at home with three very soft beds, a trunkful of toys and, most importantly, an outpouring of love and affection. I'm the luckiest feline in the world! I have a wonderful Nana and Papa who always come and bring great presents. I also have six cousins: Pearlie, Sandee, Miranda, Darla, Penny and Grace. In my smaller photograph, one will see that I am reading my very special book about me, Otto the Cat. My Uncle Dave gave me this book since he thinks I'm awfully special as well. Besides reading, I enjoy high jumping, playing fetch, snuggling, and napping. Many people tell me (especially my mama) that I'm very handsome with my bright blue eyes, slim body, and dramatic markings. Besides being told I'm handsome, many people also talk about my great intelligence since supposedly I am one of the few felines in the world who knows how to read. I find that quite amazing and hope other felines will also discover the joys of the literary world.

    When we were first brought together, Otto was very frightened and spent many months living under the couch only coming out for food and to use the potty. One day he decided to leave his safe haven and jumped right into my lap. Since that day forward, we have been great pals. He loves to play fetch and hide and seek, high jump for mice, and snuggle up to his favorite people. He is my pride and joy.
