Sydney, the Cat of the Day
Name: Sydney
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Tabby
Home: Crawfordsville, Indiana, USA
 
   What makes Sydney special? Well, first of all, he's a thirteen-pound "hunk a hunk a burnin love." But still, in our household of four cats (all male), he is without a doubt the Alpha male. He is extremely good natured and so loving and sweet to his people and well for that matter, just about anyone. He just doesn't know a stranger. He is independent but also much of the time seems to want to be in the same room as one of his people.

    He knows the word "no" and when it's spoken to him, he immediately stops what he's doing. We've trained him to come when we whistle for him (just like whistling for a dog), which makes calling him in from outside much easier. He loves to sit on a chair and watch meal preparations and will even put his paws at the very edge of the table without going any further, just to get a little closer to those little treats that he inevitably gets. He also likes to "help" when I sew, by laying on the other side of the sewing machine and "helping" the fabric come through the machine. Also loves to act as my "fabric anchor" when I've got the material spread out to cut and tries to "guide" the scissors along.

    He is just a fantastic, sweet and funny boy and our lives are so much richer for having him as part of the family.
