Khaith, the Cat of the Day
Name: Khaith
Age: One year old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic shorthair
Home: Arkansas, USA
 
   Khaith was a feral kitten that plowed his way into our home when he was about three months old. He is now a handsome guy that absolutely loves water. When he was little enough, he would take his naps in the sink, with the water dripping on his back. He absolutely loved it. Now that he has grown too big for the sink, he depends on me to allow him in the bathroom with me when I take my shower. Usually he will jump in the shower with me, but when he doesn't feel like it, he will sit at the edge, pawing at the splashing water. When I give one of my dogs a bath, and I leave the water (pretty deep, in a cat's point of view, since our dogs are a medium size) in the tub, Khaith will jump in, taking a swim in the tub (since the water is over his head).

    Not only does he like water, but he loves the vacuum cleaner. Someone will be vacuuming the couch or something, and this dude will just lie there, waiting you to vacuum his belly. It's quite humorous to watch.

    He usually acts like a dog most of the time, since his two favorite playmates are a pug/rat terrier mix and a whippet mix. Khaith usually sleeps under the covers at night, and curls right up next to the dogs, purring like a motor until he falls asleep. He is one of the most vocal cats I have ever seen. You can carry on long conversations with this guy. He will meow for any reason at all or no reason at all. He also answers to anything you call him, though he really prefers Khaith.

    He is quite the character. He randomly has mood swings where he will go from a sweet, laid-back cat to a raging madman that runs around the house attacking anything. He will poof up and make himself look humongous. He also watches television a lot. He will just set below the TV and stare up at it, sometimes attacking it.

    Basically, he is one wicked cat that has a cool personality.
