MacTavish, the Cat of the Day
Name: MacTavish
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Maine Coon
Home: Magnolia, Texas, USA
 
   Hello! My name is MacTavish. I am a Texas cat and proud of it! You have heard that everything is bigger in Texas, well, I am no exception. I weigh in at an impressive 23+ lbs. I think my veterinarian (she is really pretty) uses the dog scale for me - hee, hee (after it's been washed, of course). Being a Maine Coon, I have personality traits unlike any of my adopted brothers or sister. I have heard my human parents say that my intelligence is superior (I always thought that was the case, but it was nice to have it confirmed). My Dad says that I understand a surprising amount of human words, and I guess I usually do know what they are going to do long before they do it. They, however, don't seem to understand "cat" very well!

    My favorite thing (other than eating, of course) is being groomed. I am brushed daily (or somebody hears about it - loudly), and the only time I get upset is if someone feels the need to pull a perfectly fine hairball from my tummy. Relaxation is an important part of every day (you're surprised, right?). I especially love to lay on my back with all four of my large, furry paws in the air! Ah, what a life. I do find the television entertaining, especially Animal Planet! Those birds are really cool, and there are cats even larger than me that I can always learn something from.
