Chino, the Cat of the Day
Name: Chino
Age: Six years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic Longhair
Home: Gloucester, Virginia, USA
 
   Six years ago, as I was putting food down in the woods for a feral colony of cats I saw my little Chino. All of the others scattered as I set down the bowls and prepared to feed, all except my Chino. I had not seen him in the group before and was amazed that he seemed to not even notice that I was there. He looked up to the sky and watched a bird pass by overhead. Then I realized it was because he was deaf. His beautiful blue eyes gave him away!

    So I gently grabbed the little dude before he had the chance to scramble away with his family. I brought him home with me, cleaned up his dirty ears and nose, and plied him with unconditional love. He has been my constant and dear companion ever since. He tested positive to feline leukemia and I was told he would probably succumb by the age of two - he is now six! Every day with him is a pure and loving gift!
