Jimbo, the Cat of the Day
Name: Jimbo
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Buff Tabby
Home: Lexington, Kentucky, USA
 
   We attended a fund raiser for our favorite animal shelter in 2006. We were about to leave when they brought in the cats. We had to see them. There were a lot of kittens and this gorgeous buff boy with amber eyes. He was so long, stretched in out in that cage. Jimbo is an inspirational sleeper. He stretches out as long as he can, rolls on his back, then tilts his head to one side. He is a laid back kitty. He let us pet him as he laid there quietly amid the barking dogs and loud music. Jimbo even goes to my preschool classroom occasionally. He only has to in a carrier for travel. The rest of the time, he is free to roam the classroom.

    Laid back though he is, he is also spirited and often the one behind the trouble. He is into things like the printer, mopping, cleaning, and gift wrapping. He comes tearing up the stairs if the gift wrap drawer is opened, and attacks the curly ribbon. He can be found just around the corner in sight of whatever is being cleaned or mopped; his head bobbing to the rhythm. He actually steps with two feet on the printer and stares down the paper coming out. Sometimes he tries to catch it. He will groom or lay near both of his brothers and he likes human laps as well. He is a sweet boy and still a favorite at the shelter where he resided for three months. I would love for the world to see this exotic beauty with eyes almost the color of his fur.
