Dozer, the Cat of the Day
Name: Dozer
Age: Four and a hald years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic Shorthair
Home: Worcester, Massachusetts, USA
 
   This is Dozer (short for Bulldozer 'cause he likes to ram his head into things). I adopted Dozer from PAWS animal shelter in Norwalk, CT, just over two years ago. I went in looking for an orange kitten and somehow came out with a large, two year old, gray cat. Dozer came from an abusive family that had multiple cats and dogs. They decided one day that they were allergic to Dozer, not any of the other animals, and so they dumped him at the shelter. There he spent a long time, in a very small cage, feeling very unloved and unwanted. When I adopted Dozer, he spent his first few weeks under my bed, and as I slowly coaxed him out, he became more and more comfortable with me. Now he is a very affectionate, gorgeous, sweetheart of a cat, who does a great impression of a snake. This cat deserves more than just Cat of the Day, he deserves a Nobel prize. I'd also like to note that Dozer takes very good care of his new little brother, Alphonzo G. Kitty.
