Ringo, the Cat of the Day
Name: Ringo
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Bengal
Home: St. Peters, Missouri, USA
 
   Ringo is a real sweetie! I've only had Ringo about five weeks - he was a owner surrender at a shelter. He was labeled as a Siamese mix, but what they didn't realize is that he is a Bengal- and he's just beautiful - blue eyes and all, which never show up very well in a photo. He was a nervous wreck for a while, but he has since calmed down and what a lover boy he is!

    I've only had Ringo a short time, and since he is having to start over again, he's just now really staring to settle in- his personality is becoming more apparent. My other cat (died in July) was amazing- practically a legend. I have a thousand stories about him, but Ringo is just getting started. He is extremely affectionate and loves to watch the Young and the Restless with me each day (woohoo- a soap buddy!). He only eats his kitty food, which is really strange. I've never had a cat who didn't beg for people food. He is a big boy and beautiful with blue eyes. He likes to play with mylar balloons and a rabbit's foot. My husband and I do not let him sleep in our bedroom at night- cuz he wants to get up and play in the middle of the night, but he is learning to sneak under our bed when he knows it's our bedtime (unbeknownst to us) only to jump on the bed much later and scare the heck out of us! Too funny!

    Ringo is a big talker, but so soft. He has the teeny-tiniest little cry for such a big boy. He loves to chit-chat and what a lap cat! He is so big that he spills out off of our laps, but he sure tries to snuggle as best he can. He's the sweetest thing on the planet and I am so thankful to have him. It's a good feeling to give a cat that came from a shelter a home ... who knows where he might've ended up otherwise, I am still shaking my head, wondering why someone would surrender him up because they were moving.
