Morty, the Cat of the Day
Name: Morty
Age: One year old
Gender: Male
Kind: Lilac Point Siamese
Home: Sumter, South Carolina, USA
 
   My husband deployed to the Middle East almost six months ago. Since then it has just been me and Morty. He has eased the loneliness and heartache by "talking" to me when it's quiet in the house. He sleeps with me every night and wakes up with me every morning. He is always by my side and loves to play. He also likes to play in the tub. It's so funny! He skips around like a dog and is waiting right by the door when I come home from work. Sometimes, he's meowing from inside before I even put the key in the door.

    When we bought him, he was this skinny little kitten sitting all by his lonesome. His sister had sold long before him. When I asked why he hadn't sold yet, the manager said that he couldn't be in any shows because his tail is crooked. Well, I love his crooked little tail! As far as I'm concerned, it was love at first sight. I am so blessed to have two such wonderful men in my life: my husband and Morty.
