Grinch, the Cat of the Day
Name: Grinch
Age: Thirteen years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Snowshoe Siamese
Home: Colorado, USA
 
   Late in 1999, Grinch was available through Siamese Rescue, and I was attracted by his photograph on their webpage. I tell people finding him was my first experience with Internet dating!

    The shelter workers had named him as a joke - he is very easy going, his motto for a happy life is "whatever!" My husband and I thought the name was a nice whimsical touch, so we kept it. He joined our household shortly after the premature death of another cat, just after Christmas. I learned when he arrived that a Grinch can give, not steal.

    He has a favorite box for a nap, but often has trouble getting all of himself into the box. Sometimes he makes it fit, however. He likes boxes of all sizes, and you can see that sometimes he climbs in to a small box and just spills over the edges. He cannot resist investigating a bag of fresh vegetables just arrived from the farmers' market.

    He has been an affectionate companion for over a decade. His activity level is gradually slowing down, but he still has the energy for a brief dash through the house on occasion.
