Opie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Opie
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Orange Tabby
Home: Frankfort, Kentucky, USA
 
   When my cat, Max, passed away, my female cat, Sophie was left alone. I didn't want her to be lonely when I was at work. I started searching on petfinder.org for a playmate. I came across Opie. He looked so sweet and adorable. I decided to call his foster mom to get some information. She said he was a very loving and affectionate kitten. She said he liked cats, dogs and humans. She also said that he just loved everybody. She then gave a little laugh and said, "Well he's just a mess," then laughed some more. Well, maybe, I should have taken that as a warning, but I didn't. I filled out the adoption papers and I was accepted as a good adoptive parent. My sister and I went to get my new baby. I was so excited and happy. He was 6 months old at the time. I thought about changing his name because Sophie and Opie, just might be to confusing. I decided that I couldn't change his name because, well, he's Opie!

    I got him home and Sophie was not as happy as I was to have a new kitty in the household. She hissed, she growled and she lashed out with her claws in warning. She did come to love her new little brother within a couple of months. She just couldn't resist him. He was everything his foster mom said he was. A sweet, loving and very affectionate kitty. The "mess" part that she had mentioned turned out to be that he is very mischievous and full of energy. He is constantly into something or on the go. If he's not lovingly grooming his sister, he's picking on her. He doesn't just want your affection and attention, he demands it and you just can't help loving him.
