Hector, the Cat of the Day
Name: Hector
Age: One year old
Gender: Male
Kind: Scottish Fold
Home: Christchurch, New Zealand
 
   This is Hector, our cream tabby Scottish Fold. He is very placid and calm. He doesn't meow, he sort of has this cute squeak saved only for special occasions. He has a lovely personality and is a joy to have around. Nothing seems to be a problem for him - a real cruiser!

    We recently added a kitten to our pet collection and he just took it over, washing, playing, guarding - the whole parental issue. We're very proud of him and love him dearly.

    Hector is just croooozy! He's quite shy and doesn't particularly like strangers, but will tolerate them. He's thoughtful and quite intense looking. Makes me wonder what's going on in there. He's very gentle and when playing with us and won't use claws, as if he's conscious about hurting us. I think of him as a baby who needs protecting.

    He's not particularly agile but has in the past attempted to master small tree climbing activities which have unfortunately resulted in him falling out and embarrassing himself (the only time I've really seen him look angry, although it's hard to tell sometimes with those ears). By the way, his pedigree name is Ears A Touch Of Class.

    He loves people being around even though he doesn't always want to be caressed or stroked.

    To sum it up, thoughtful, gentle, soft, loveable, caring, sensitive and totally gorgeous. Perhaps even the cat equivalent of a SNAG (Sensitive New Age Guy).
