Simpkin, the Cat of the Day
Name: Simpkin
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Cat
Home: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
 
   Simpkin lives with his brother Hershey and his two humans. Simpkin's hobbies are trying to eat string and paper clips (both therefore must be kept under lock and key), kneading people in the middle of the night, rolling around on his back, and staring intently. Simpkin has a very loud purr that has been likened to Darth Vader. His secret name is Professor Tubbs because we like to pretend he is secretly more intelligent than humans and conducts scientific experiments when no one is at home. His usual expression is as pictured in this photo - very surprised and curious. He also enjoys chasing his brother around the apartment, and rolling in, then eating, the occasional pile of catnip. If he and his brother have rolled in some catnip, after he eats his own, he eats all the catnip off his brother's fur. Simpkin hardly ever meows and we've only heard him hiss a few times in his life. He lets us clip his claws with nail clippers without toooo much fuss. Simpkin is special because sometimes he seems very intelligent and other times he seems like a furry toddler; we love him very much.
