Ernest, the Cat of the Day
Name: Ernest
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Bengal mix
Home: Hialeah, Florida, USA
 
   Ernest is a stray cat that found me outside of my job about six months ago. I was outside calling the stray colony of cats I feed at my job, and all of a sudden I see this cat crying and it literally ran towards me. I immediately picked him up and fell in love. As I started inspecting him to make sure he was a boy, well he was and was neutered. I also noticed he has a huge open wound coming down his spine all the way down to his tail. Oh and i forgot the best part I noticed his paws were slightly different, he was a poly-dactyl! In Florida, we call these Hemingway cats, as his namesake, the author Ernest Hemingway, had a lot of polydacyl cats on his property in Key West, and they still live there!

    I am a nurse and work in a home health agency, so I immediately took him inside and got his wound cleansed with saline and applied neosporin. I then begged my mom to please let me take him home (she didn't require much convincing as she fell in love with him) So it's been six months and Ernest is thee best cat! He is extremely loving, gets along with all my other cats. he is very mischievous, he loves to open the door by sticking his long front legs and huge paws under the door and pulls towards him. He loves to start crying at 4-5 am for food... so I usually just leave food out for him. I have to say out of my seven cats, Ernest being the most recent cat to come in, he is my favorite.
