Miko, the Cat of the Day
Name: Miko
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Calico
Home: Chicago, Illinois, USA
 
   Oh, how we love Miko! She's a calico cat, adopted from the Chicago Anti-Cruelty Society in January 2000, who has a complex personality--ranging from the calm and serene to the freaky and wild! She'll follow us around, waiting for us to sit down so she can get cozy in our laps, purr, drool, and receive lots of scritches. But she also can be seen racing at hyperkinetic speed through our apartment and over the sofa for no apparent reason.

    Miko has a "Tower of Power", a bunch of moving boxes stacked up in our dining room, on which she likes to perch and keep watch over everything that goes on. Perhaps we'll get her a real carpeted cat tree as a present some day. In this photo you can see Miko in a calm and serene moment, warming up on her heating pad (not a lap!) on a cold Chicago day.

    Miko and our other cat, Saima, sometimes get into paw-whapping tussles, and Miko is often the instigator. But in general she's a real sweetie. We know Miko's got a big, loving heart, and we're so glad she's a part of our lives.
