Goblin, the Cat of the Day
Name: Goblin
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Persian mix
Home: Seattle, Washington, USA
 
   Goblin is my wonder kitty. My husband and I found him (and his brother and sister and another kitten who didn't make it) in the wheel well of a car when they were about three weeks old, clearly abandoned and starved half to death. When we brought them inside, my dachshund, Elvis, licked all three kittens clean, and we ran to the pet store to get formula and bottles. Poor Goblin was the most malnourished and we feared for his life for the first week. However, with regular feedings and "playing mommy cat," his tummy got big and he soon started to crawl and began to explore and be playful. No one wanted to get attached to him because we were afraid he was going to die but I couldn't give up on the little guy. He slept in the crook of my neck every night (and he still sleeps there too!) and we bonded and now we belong together forever. Even though he was the smallest kitten, he became the biggest one out of the litter, weighing in at a whopping 15.5 pounds! He likes hanging out in the sink, as you can see. I'm glad every day that we found those kittens and that Goblin is my furry baby.
