Butters, the Cat of the Day
Name: Butters
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic shorthair
Home: Portland, Oregon, USA
 
   Butters full name is Buttersworth Bernard Bakersmen. Some of our nicknames for him are "Buddy", "Baby Big Boy", "Teddy Graham", and "Bob Newhart" because I think his attitude and dark, deepset eyes are like Bob Newhart's. We adopted him two years ago from the Arlington Animal Welfare League in Virginia. We wanted a kitty to keep our beloved Patticakes (Bakersmen) company. When we met Butters, we knew he was the perfect cat to complete our family. He's a total pushover!!

    Butters is big-boned. He loves to eat. The second we stir in the morning he thinks it is breakfast and will whine until you feed him or he will play dead. The same thing happens in the afternoon. He eats so fast sometimes he makes himself sick - maybe something in his past convinced him that any food must be eaten ASAP, we'll never know. He is also a big coward. He acts like a weather vane -- every time he hides, I know thunder is coming. As you can see, he also like a nice, soft pile of laundry to nap on, though I obviously "disturbed" him with the camera!

    We love Butters very much. He is a very handsome cat and a great companion to Patti, too!
