About Us
Shy Guy, the Cat of the Day
Name: Shy Guy
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Bombay
Home: Minnesota, USA
 
   Shy Guy is playful, loves attention, and especially enjoys watching bird videos on the computer - if no birds are outside the windows. He cuddles on our laps, taking turns to make sure he spends equal time with both my husband and me. We adopted Shy Guy on Valentine's Day 2010 after friends told us the heart-breaking story of his abandonment in a bitter Minnesota January. We had recently lost our cat of 22 years and were unsure about adopting so soon; but from the moment we met him, Shy Guy warmed our laps and our hearts. He chose us, and we happily accepted!

    Since then he has overcome the behaviors that earned his name. Shy Guy used to flinch at every unexpected movement, but he has opened up, nosily inspecting every inch of the house, choosing his favorite locations, and becoming the prince of every patch of sun. He meows forlornly if he doesn't know where his people are, but purrs contentedly when he knows we're nearby.

   We are content, too, to have Shy Guy in our lives.
