Pookey, the Cat of the Day
Name: Pookey
Age: Nine years old
Gender: Male
Kind: American Domestic Shorthair
Home: San Diego, California, USA
 
   One day nine years ago I went to a woman's home in San Diego who had a newspaper ad for kittens for sale for $5.00 each. There were several kittens that had been born on a farm, but now needed homes. Pookey was snuggled with his siblings and I was drawn to him because he looked so scared. After bringing him home, I noticed he was very ill. I brought him to the Vet and Pookey had a respiratory infection, ear mites, fleas and was very sick. The medication made him very weary and all he wanted to do was nuzzle himself within my neck and sleep day after day. It nearly broke my heart!

    I am happy to report that of course Pookey survived his illness and is a very happy, social and the most affectionate little cat that I've ever known. Every day to this day he waits by the door when I get home from work, I bend over and he hops onto my shoulder and wraps himself around my neck and goes for a ride. He is incredibly loving and sweet and it was the best $5.00 dollars I have ever spent!
