Speedy, the Cat of the Day
Name: Speedy
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Persian
Home: North Carolina, USA
 
   My cat Speedy is very special to me. At this moment he is licking his cute white paws in front of the monitor. He's always been there to squash a bug, or act crazy when I'm feeling sad. Sometimes he'll look back at me with those stunning yellow cat eyes and I'll see a cat so cute, I don't see how someone couldn't love it.

    Even though sometimes he's extremely unnerving and knocks over things, and gets in the way, I still love him for being Speedy. Of course, also his name, Speedy, he gets for being just plain out fast. Don't let his fluffy coat or placid expression fool you. If something scares him, or is unusual, you can see him dash right up to my bedroom in five seconds flat.

    I will always remember the day we brought him home from a cat show in Winston Salem, we had absolutely no intention of bringing a cat home that day. After dealing with the death of our eighteen-year-old cat, another cat around the house seemed a bit wrong. Well, of course we were wrong, and after a day or so, he grew on us.

    Speedy is not like most cats. He likes water and getting wet. Sometimes while I'm in the shower and the door's slightly cracked, he'll try and hop in, and when I'm finished he will lay down in the pool of water left. He also never likes to drink out of his bowl, but plugging the sink and letting him dip his face in it while drinking is more effective.

    This lively and crazy cat will do anything for attention. I remember sitting in my bed reading and all of a sudden he jumps into the wall and falls in the trash can. He made me laugh so hard my lungs almost burst. He finds the strangest places to rest and play in.

    I love my cat, Speedy, I hope I can even take him to college with me when I get older and he will live as long and as good a life as any cat can.
