Sweep, the Cat of the Day
Name: Sweep
Age: Seven years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic Shorthair
Home: Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, U.K.
 
   This is Sweep, also known as Sweepie, he had a brother called Sooty who sadly had to be put to sleep in January 2007 because he had FIV. Sweepie misses Sooty but he does have another cat in our household to beat up now - a big fat cat called Mouse!

    Sweep is special because he and Sooty were abandoned when their previous owner moved to Scotland. They used to live a few doors away from us. It was strange, because even when I first saw them as kittens, I always thought they would become mine, they started out being called Lolly and Alex by their previous owner but we always referred to them as Sooty and Sweep when ever they visited our garden. So when they came home to stay, they already knew these names.

    The only way we could tell them apart was that Sweep had one white whisker, this later fell out but by then we knew their personalities and could judge who was who!! Sweep has been a real comfort to me since Sooty went to 'Rainbow Bridge', we reassure each other, he's a real baby even though he's seven years old now. He's just such a sweet, special boy.

   Sweep says meow! >"<
