Blackie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Blackie
Age: One and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic shorthair
Home: Galway, Ireland
 
   This is Blackie the cat. She strayed into us when she was a kitten in Summer 2004. Even though Blackie is an outside cat and she has her own house outside with a nice cat bed, she still sneaks into the house in winter. She is very good at hiding - behind furniture, under beds, behind the couch. Once day we were going in the car and when we looked into the back seat, there she was all curled up asleep - she had sneaked in earlier when someone left the door open.

    She is in a bit of trouble at the moment as she is a good bird catcher and has caught a few wild birds. No matter how many different collars we put on her with a bell to frighten the birds she still manages to bite it off in a few hours. We have found her collars discarded all over the place but at least when she is trying to get it off, the birds are safe.

    Blackie is a very playful cat and loves to roll around the carpet and play with her catnip pet mice that she got for Christmas. She also likes climbing trees. She is friendly to her other cat friend Domino who comes to visit her every now and again.

    She is very cute and her fur is very soft to touch and she likes nothing better than to curl up and be rubbed on the head.
