Richie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Richie
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Persian, tuxedo mix
Home: Butler, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   Richie, also known as Bubby, is a very special boy because he has had a second chance at life. I removed him from an ex-boyfriend's house due to neglect. The food bowl was constantly empty and the litter box was never changed. After I had him home with my three other cats, I realized that he was not urinating. The vet said he had large urinary crystals which was plugging his urethra. Had I not taken him to the vet, he would have died.

    Now, he is a happy, healthy, energetic ball of fur. He must be fed a prescription diet that is very expensive ($55 for 20 pounds). But with this face, who wouldn't do that? His hobbies include harassing two of the other cats and harassing the fish in the tank. He loves to play and will get mad at my fiance if he doesn't play. He will actually growl and nip at him until he gets his favorite toy. He will sit in the bathtub and wait patiently until someone turns on the faucet to get a drink. On occasion, he will curl up at night on the pillow overtop my head. He is definitely my little prince and deserves to be Cat of the Day because we love him so much.
