Shiloh, the Cat of the Day
Name: Shiloh
Age: Ten months old
Gender: Male
Kind: DSH Cat
Home: Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
 
   Shiloh was part of two litters of kittens who were homeless after the folks who "owned" a pair of young sisters moved away and left them behind. The two resourceful sisters weren't about to give up, though, and canvassed the neighborhood until they found a couple of families to take them in. Ten kittens between them were born about six weeks later, and Shiloh is one of two kittens who have "adopted" us as their permanent human caregivers. He lives with three other cats - his mothers and his sister.

    Shiloh was the largest of the kittens and also the least adventurous of the bunch. While his sister likes to chase insects and birds, Shiloh prefers to recline on his sofa and wait for his dinner to be served to him. He enjoys long naps in the sun and taking slow, leisurely walks around the yard. He acts as the official household "greeter" and will walk out to meet new arrivals before they get to the front door. He also makes it a point to replace his paw prints whenever they are washed off the car's windshield - how is anyone to know that it's his car if people keep washing off the paw prints!

    Shi-boy discovered recently that he absolutely adores snow. He enjoyed jumping into the drifts, rubbing himself on the bushes to coat his fur with snow flakes, scooping the snow into snowballs that he then kicked around the yard, making snow angels, and tackling his sister to push her into the biggest drifts he could find. What a little character!
