Milo, the Cat of the Day
Name: Milo
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Fawn Abyssinian
Home: Lake Forest, California, USA
 
   Milo is the friendliest, most loving, smartest cat I have ever had ... and we are talking over 40 years of owning different cats. He loves everyone that comes into our home, comes whenever he is called, plays fetch with almost anything, and demands lots of love and attention!

    Milo is extremely affectionate. He likes to get on my lap and rub his head all over my arm, kneed my stomach or just curl up and enjoy being petted. He even comes up to strangers that come over and demands affection from them. His favorite game is fetch with a little cloth mouse. He goes crazy over those "mousies". Whenever I say "where is your mousie?" he goes nuts and starts looking for one. If he brings the mouse back to me and it is just a bit too far away I will tell him I can't get it and after a while he brings it closer! Sometimes he tries to put the mouse on my lap! He knows how to make it convenient for me!! LOL He is one smart cat!

    He likes to play hide and pounce with our other cat much to her displeasure. She is quite a bit fatter than Milo and this requires too much effort on her part. One of the coolest things about Milo is how he comes when he is called. If I haven't seen him for a while I will call his name really loud over and over and all of a sudden, he comes running down the stairs all bright-eyed and alert looking for me. I just love this cat so much and he has added so much joy to my life...and during these last couple of years, I have had some struggles with bad knees and I could not imagine what this time would have been like without Milo there.
