Dash, the Cat of the Day
Name: Dash
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic short hair
Home: Winder, Georgia, USA
 
   Upon moving into our new home in 2003, we decided our first cat, Oscar, needed some company. So we went to the Athens Area Humane Society to track down a suitable companion. When we walked in the adoption room, Dash was lying on his back and while looking at us upside down, he chirped at us and it was love at first sight.

    Dash is a fabulous cat. He's energetic, affectionate, inquisitive, and extremely vocal. He loves to climb anything and everything (ladders, bookshelves, mini-blinds), and he'll play by himself for hours chasing his favorite milk rings around the kitchen floor. He loves to sit and purr next to us on the couch and must always have one paw in contact with your leg or arm.

    Dash has a wonderfully soft coat, so he's great to pet too. Any time a cabinet, drawer, or door opens in the house, he's instantly there to see what's going on and if he can help in any way. He has a number of different meows, chirps, and growls, and all mean quite different things, the most important of course being "mmrrear", which means feed me.

    Oscar doesn't mind Dash too much - Oscar's much more laid back - but definitely enjoys the show Dash puts on at least once a day - the crazies, as we like to call it. This is when Dash runs around the house with ears back at top speed, completely living up to his name. We love this little guy and are glad to have him in our home.
