Josey, the Cat of the Day
Name: Josey
Age: One year old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic Short Hair
Home: Des Moines, Washington, USA
 
   I rescued Josey from a nearby shelter at ten weeks old. I truly believe he is a gift from God, because at the time I did not need to get another cat, as I had two at the time. But something in me one day said to me, "you need to rescue a kitten." In less than a day I found Josey. I sat in the room and told myself that the kitten will pick me or I go home. Josey was asleep in a bed curled up across the room from me. When I sat down his head popped up and he did a quirky meow and trotted over to me and looked up at me. I didn't' dare do anything. He proceeded to crawl up my leg until he got to my face and licked my face. I cried and he crawled into my arms and purred. He became my cat!

    He is an absolute Godsend to me and he fast became the King of the household with two other Maine Coons who definitely were a lot bigger than him. But Josey did not care. He wanted to be their friends and pretty soon he was chasing them all over the place. However, my Maine Coons had to leave for several months, due to personal reasons, and Josey was left alone while I went to work every day. Every night, we had play time, chase time and cuddle time. He truly saved my life. One of the best things about Josey is having full on conversations with him. He will talk to you for the longest time and he has so many different meows. There was nothing better than coming home to Josey to tell him about my day and he told me about all the toys he left for me all over the place. His favorite thing to do is when I come home that he tries to jump up on me. I pick him up and carry him around like a baby. It is very hard to do chores while carrying a cat, but somehow we would manage.

    He's now a year old and his Maine Coon buddies have returned home permanently and I have rescued another gray kitty, Emma, whom has become his girlfriend and they are attached at the hip. I now have a happy herd with Romeo (Josey) and Juliet (Emma) and their two lovable Maine Coon bodyguards. It makes for a great way coming home everyday to happy kitties who do nothing but love!
