Miles Bird, the Cat of the Day
Name: Miles Bird
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Himalayan
Home: New York, USA
 
   Miles Bird (a.k.a. the Birdman) was adopted from the local SPCA. It was love at first sight. Miles Bird is shy, sweet, and skittish. He likes feline greenies and even treats that help with furballs. He dislikes loud noises and people who move too fast.

    Miles Bird is a loner, in the sense that he sleeps under the bed (all day) where he cannot be seen. When he does come out (he's also known as phantom cat), he's got mad love and goes for intense petting and a bit of meowing call and response (we've worked out a short conversation). In return, I press my face against his back and he purrs the loveliest of purrs. We were told at the shelter that Miles had no claws whatsoever. Some cruel vet (or other person) removed his back claws. Nonetheless, Miles likes to jump, run after fake tiny mice, pull along strings and doesn't seem all that bothered by his lack of nails. His main trick is how he manages to squeeze himself underneath a very small passageway under the bed.
