Mitchell, the Cat of the Day
Name: Mitchell
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Maine Coon
Home: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
 
   The handsome boy you are looking at is Mitchell. We are very lucky to have him as part of our family. We got him over a year ago from the Humane Society. His sign said he was a '17lb aloof Maine Coon male.' We decided that he would be one of the cats that probably would be there longer than the kittens in the next cage, not many people want a seventeen pound cat. So we took him home to our little apartment, gave him his own room, his toys, and expected nothing more than an aloof cat. Well, to our surprise, this cat can open doors, windows and also loves to run back and forth through the house after us, talking to us like we understand. He has had one mishap, one night he got out the door, he was gone for three days. We searched endlessly, finally by chance (of course), we found him under our car we. He had four bloody paws, and one of his back feet was cut open. It ended up he had a bone infection and had to have part of his foot removed. So here is our Mitchell. He is perfect, minus one toe. He is so special to us he has his own theme song, Mitchell Man, sung to the tune of "Macho Man."
