Pudge, the Cat of the Day
Name: Pudge
Age: One year old
Gender: Female
Kind: Exotic Shorthair
Home: Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
 
   Pudge is a one-year-old Exotic Shorthair. Pudge is an amazing cat. Aside from her unique coloring and adorable face, Pudge has a great temperament. She interacts well with other people and animals, and you can do pretty much anything to her. Some might call her lazy, but I like to say she just isn't that playful. She'd much rather cuddle on your lap, take a nap, or watch the world go by from the window than waste the energy playing with a silly toy.

    I took a nineteen hour road trip to and from Lombard, IL to get Pudge from her breeder when she was two months old, and ever since that day, Pudge has been stuck to me like glue. Like a dog, she would come with me everywhere I go if she could.

    Pudge is currently a non-stop shedding machine, but the only way to brush her without her attacking the comb (because she thinks it's a game) is to distract her with something else. It would figure, the only "toy" she wants to play with is not a toy at all! So I end up distracting her with her kittenTV as I pull never ending piles of fur from her body. Because of her extremely dense fur I have to brush her daily when she's shedding and end up with never ending mountains of fluff.

    I do take Pudge with me wherever I can, so she loves to go for car rides and look out the windows like a dog. Ever since she was a kitten, her favorite place to sit in the car is on the dashboard.

    Pudge is clicker trained and knows to come to me on command. She loves the smell of chicken and will sit up like a prairie dog for a piece whenever I cook it. Aside from that, she's very well mannered and doesn't beg for table scraps. Her personality is very laid back and sweet. We think she's fully aware of how fabulous she is because she seems to enjoy meeting new people and generally being the center of attention wherever she is.
