Marco, the Cat of the Day
Name: Marco
Age: Deceased, Twelve years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Cornish Rex
Home: Manalapan, New Jersey, USA
 
   Marco had one of the sweetest dispositions I have ever encountered. He was very extroverted, totally unafraid of strangers. Indeed, he would almost dare them to sit down so he could leap into their lap! And he had the most luxuriant coat - with marcel waves and so rich and thick he was my "cashmere kitty."

    He shared his life with his littermate Zaki, who is as introverted as Marco was extroverted. I never saw Marco pick a fight with his brother, but, rather, he'd retreat and let Zaki have his way. He also shared his food - I never saw him push his brother out of the way.

    The only thing he did hog was sunshine. He could lie endlessly, baking in the sun so that his fur was hot to the touch.

    Besides being a lap-cat, he was a snuggle bug, for nothing pleased him more than to be held against my left shoulder, and he would wrap himself around my neck. We miss you, Marco!
