Cocoa, the Cat of the Day
Name: Cocoa
Age: One and a half years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Siamese Tabby mix
Home: Maricopa, Arizona, USA
 
   Let me present you all to our adorable Cocoa. We got him though my husband's coworker's girlfriend who had a Siamese Tabby mix of her own. We found out that she couldn't care for two cats so we adopted him. We had been contemplating buying a kitty but couldn't coordinate a time adopt a cat at PetsMart. At first I was hesitant of what a Siamese Tabby mix would look like but he turned out to be super cute. You can barely make out faint stripes on his front legs and the top of his forehead in this photo. He's also a hefty fifteen pounds. We also thought of giving him another name but agreed that Cocoa is fitting to his coat color.

    Cocoa's antics entail jumping up on our bed in the wee hours of the morning to wake us up with his unusual meows and also knocks off whatever is on our nightstands. His favorite hobby is bringing in countless crickets from the garage. By midweek he has littered the house with legless crickets and any other insects he can get his paws on. His pest control skills are top notch and the "gifts" he bestows on his human parents are genuine. One of Cocoa's favorite activities involve leaping after his feather toy. He can somersault around five feet and pants like a puppy when he's tired. He also loves to play hide-and-seek with Daddy. He loves being petted after spending some of the day home alone. When I get home, he'll run to the computer room and box at the cursor.

    I don't know what we would do without this little guy, he brings so much joy to our lives.
