Buster Lex Keaton, the Cat of the Day
Name: Buster Lex Keaton

Gender: Male
Kind: Maine Coon

   Say hello to Buster Lex Keaton, named after the legendary silent film star Buster Keaton. We also call him Buster-Baby, Lovebug and Underfoot.

    Christmas time 2012 we lost our friend and buddy Maxwell after eighteen wonderful years of companionship. I was devastated to say the least. I told my husband no more cats for a long time. I cried for a whole month. But within a week after Max went to the rainbow I wanted another cat. Not to replace but to help heal. So we went to Adirondack Humane Society hoping a kitty wanted to come home with us. Buster was the third kitty I approached. He curled his body and offered me his fluffy stomach to rub. I was hooked. Even after browsing for over an hour I kept going back to him and he kept loving my attention. He was the one!

    Upon bringing him home he has made himself quite comfy. He shares his love with me and his Daddy. And true to his Maine Coon heritage he is a gentle and sweet giant weighing in at eighteen pounds (8 kg). He loves to run and play and whenever I open a bag of tea he comes running waiting for me to toss the envelope so he can chase it. He also loves to run from the upstairs, missing a few steps to plow into the living room, jumping on to the bench at the big bay window like he is sliding into home sometimes smacking his forehead on the glass. I learned early on to keep the bench free of things because he'd knock 'em down.

    He has the fluffiest tail I have ever seen. And he struts it like he knows it. If he was a peacock he'd have lots and lots of girlfriends.

    Buster got sick a few months ago with a serious UTI. He spent five nights in the animal hospital. We were worried sick. He is home now and on a very strict diet, which by the way, has not kept him from being my happy plump baby. I'm hoping hubby and I will have Buster by our side as we approach our golden years. He is the purrfect cat indeed.
