Mikael, the Cat of the Day
Name: Mikael
Age: Fifteen months old
Gender: Male
Kind: Russian Blue
Home: Oxford, Massachusetts, USA
 
   My name is Mikael, I am a Russian Blue. As you can tell, I have made myself right at home. I am going to appear in my first CFA cat show soon. I'm a little nervous but my masters, Mike and Bev, have assured me that I will do just fine.

    Mikael has a personality all his own, like all cats. He's very affectionate when he wants, and on his terms. He likes to cuddle with my wife every morning when she sits in her rocking chair having her cup of coffee before going to work. He is an indoor cat but loves to go outside whenever we go out into the yard. When I take him outside, I cradle him on my forearm and he's very content to be there. We bought a harness and leash for him so when we go outside he remains under our control and loves every minute he can walk alongside our thirteen-year-old domestic barn cat, Sadie. They are inseparable.

    The only trick the boy does is every toy we get for him, he can hardly wait to hide it under the hutch or our bed or any other place, just to hide it. When we get out my metal yard stick he runs over to us because he knows we are going to retrieve his toys from under the hutch or wherever. He loves to camp with us also. We have a 31' Motorhome and whenever we go camping, both cats accompany us, and they both are very good travelers. Sadie has most recently started enjoying camping more so since her brother is with her!
