The Nug, the Cat of the Day
Name: The Nug
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Tortoiseshell
Home: Cambridge, UK
 
   This is the Nug. Why is she special? Well, she's the least graceful cat on the planet. We can hear the thud grunt noise of her jumping from a chair even when she's at the other end of the house. She's also a very musical cat -- she regards the sound of a person playing the piano as an invitation to join in and add her own four-paw harmonies. Every evening at dusk she sits on the front step and sings a little duet with the ginger cat next door. She has her own website with her piano compositions on. She's very accomplished at prodding things with her nose (in fact we named her 'The Nug' after a childhood word for a cat's nose!). Like most cats, she could probably take over the world if she could be bothered and was able to operate a tin opener. As it is, she lies around all day being stroked and having her chin tickled whilst we open her tins for her. Sometimes she even allows us to ruffle the white patch of fur on her belly or to play 'fetch' with her catnip mice. We think she's adorable.
