Stacks, the Cat of the Day
Name: Stacks
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Cat
Home: Spokane County, Washington, USA
 
   Stacks (short for Smokestacks) sure needs to work on his hunting strategy! Stacks is an affectionate cat. It is impossible to lounge on the sofa and not have him napping on your stomach or chest. We didn't adopt him until he was about fourteen weeks old and he was raised with a Golden Retriever, Black Lab, and small children. Our Vet said he was the best "socialized" cat he'd seen. We have a Yellow Lab and he and Stacks get along very well. As a matter of fact, Stacks makes friends with all the neighborhood dogs because he knows how to "work" a dog. Basically, he doesn't run from them!

    He is an outstanding mouser and has rid our yard of moles. When my husband and I work or just hang out in the yard both the dog, Tucker, and Stacks follow us around the yard. Stacks will run ahead of us and hide in shrubs and jump out to startle us. He especially likes to run out at Tucker and stand up on his hind legs and smack at Tucker hind quarters! He does catch the occasional bird but we discourage that activity whenever we can. In this picture, he was only about seven months old and was fascinated with the gathering stop for birds (bird feeder). it was just a lucky, hysterical shot I got of him standing on top of the bird feeder! Makes me laugh every time I see it. He's very comfortable with other animals and humans and is also quite able to relax!
