Treacle, the Cat of the Day
Name: Treacle
Age: Fourteen years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Short Hair
Home: Harker Heights, Texas, USA
 
   My name is Treacle. I am fourteen years old and a lady of leisure and contentment... but certainly not spoiled... I just get what I want when I want it and I am totally adept at making clear what I want.

    I was a six-month-old foundling at the shelter when our dad selected me - he has never figured out that actually I selected him those many years ago. He introduced me into a home of delicious and healthful food, countless nap spots, endless ear rubs, and one sister (Piaf) and two brothers (Bannock and Kismet) - I love them all but our two-year-old foundling brother, Kismet, naughtily likes to occasionally pester me -- I tolerate him up to my limit and then put him in his place!

    I nearly had a terrible end a couple of years ago -- our house was being renovated and the workmen opened the wrong door and I fled in panic. I was lost outside for nearly four months -- but not one day went by that our dad did not walk the neighborhood looking for me. Then one day, about two miles from our house, he saw some movement in an open field and slowly approached me -- I knew his voice and did not run. Oh, Happy Day! I was taken home a scrawny little girl half my usual weight to a tear-filled reunion, but I have recovered both my weight and my happy home. No more interest in that big place out there for me! As you can see, I am snug in my own world never again to roam! Well, nap time. Bye.
