Meiko, the Cat of the Day
Name: Meiko
Age: Nine months old
Gender: Female
Kind: Manx
Home: New South Wales, Australia
 
   Meiko is a Manx Breed (even though she has her whole tail) and is only nine-months old. She loves to play a lot, and is very active all day. She is easy to train, and she likes it when the pencil often moves around when I draw. Just a few months ago, I have these healthy treats for her, my mom told me that I've gotta teach her some words like sit, stay etc. But luckily, she does know what I commanded, she did sit. Meiko is also very mischievous. Every time she is inside, she tends to always to get up on to the table and eat the food that she's not suppose to eat.. But that shows that she loves to eat.

    We first got her from a cat breeder, who's selling their cat's kittens for about $50. My mom picked Meiko, because of her big round eyes and her cuteness. She was the smallest and youngest out the litter, and cutest. Meiko's "mother" had already taught her to be potty-trained. So it was great idea to get her (there's more reasons why we got her). I named her Meiko because it meant "bud". I actually didn't know what the name "Meiko" meant back then. But once I found out I thought about it for a while and thought that bud would kind of suit her, because of her small size. but if she was actually male I would've named "him" Kaito (but I really didn't know the name meaning for it), from Japanese 海 (kai) "sea, ocean" combined with 斗 (to), which refers to the constellation Ursa Major, or 翔 (to) "soar, fly". Although Kaito didn't suit her that well, anyway.

    Once we got back to our house with Meiko, she often felt scared and had always ran under the couch. I kept her in my room for a long while on that day (so I can keep her away from my younger brothers). Meiko still had to get used to me though, because she was afraid of "larger" people, like all kittens are. The next day, I had a feeling that she knew that I was her main owner. As my mom was cleaning with the vacuum, she hid under the couch; while I was outside. When my mom was finished I went inside and saw Meiko calling. When I looked under the couch she came right up to me. I felt that she was sort of getting used to me.

    Now, she hardly ever sleeps during the day (when we first got her she slept all day) and is very energetic. She knows when I come home from school and she knows that I feel sad when i do, and comforts me.

    She is the best pet anyone could have and a great companion. And the cutest neko I've ever seen!!
