Tofu, the Cat of the Day
Name: Tofu
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Seal Point Himalayan
Home: Virginia, USA
 
   Tofu is the kind of cat who enjoys her personal space. She'll stay close so that you're in her sight, but she will only voluntarily come closer when she wants to feel loved. Her fluffy exterior makes her even cuter and gives more of a reason to give into her ways.

    She enjoys finding new hiding spots, bird watching, and sleeping. Unlike the stereotypical feline, she detests fish flavored foods, and only goes for the poultry or beef. However, when there's food around, she will not give up, until she finds out what it is, before deciding if she likes the scent or not.

    Tofu got her unusual name from my mother. We were having dinner the night we got her and my family and I were trying to come up with a name which would suit her well. I'm not sure what was going through her mind, but my mom suggested "Tofu" because the color of her fur had a slight resemblance to the soy cube. She is a very reserved cat, but when she wants attention and affection, she will be sure to let us know. She will roll on her back, or jump up next to us, her tail will be waving high in the air, and she'll look at us with her big blue eyes hoping for some love. Even though at times, Tofu may seem like she doesn't want to be around us, if my family is scattered in different rooms, she'll pick a spot to sit where she can see all of us, or at least know what's going on with each of us.

    When Tofu was younger, she was more inclined to playing with little toys or paper balls, but now there's a 50/50 chance she'll play back if we try dangling some keys above her head, or throwing a toy mouse across the room. Her favorite thing to do nowadays is trying to find a new spot that's enclosed and which seems safe for her to be in; Whether it be in a shoe rack, under a desk, or in a closet. She is also very fond of catnip which makes her go crazy and makes for some great photo ops. Tofu has been the most adorable addition to our family and we love her so much!
